Question

I have a select with options, its a transformed select not the normal one.

<select>
<option value="0">apple</option>
<option value="1">orange</option>
<option value="2">bannan fruit</option>
</select>

How to find the maximum length in the options(bannan fruit) using Jquery?

Answer 1

var max_length = -1;
$('option').each(function(){
  max_length = Math.max(max_length, $(this).text().length);
});
alert(max_length);
