Question

I want to update a text box when a drop down is either select to Yes or No. The code I have checks it the is an option for Y or N. How to I check which value is selected?

html

<select id="SelectionFlag" name="SelectionFlag">
<option value="">Select one</option>
<option selected="selected" value="Y">Yes</option>
<option value="N">No</option>
</select>

jquery

 $("#SelectionFlag").change(function () {
                var currentYear = (new Date).getFullYear();
                alert(currentYear + 1);
                if ($("#SelectionFlag").value = "N") {

                    $("#TermDate").val("12/31/" + currentYear);
                }
                if($("#SelectionFlag").value = "Y")
                {
                    $("#EffectiveDate").val("12/31/" + (currentYear + 1));
                }
            });

Change your IF statements to:

if ($("#SelectionFlag").val() == "N")

and

if ($("#SelectionFlag").val() == "Y")
