Question

I’m interested in using fcbkcomplete, which has:

• onselect – fire event on item select.
• onremove – fire event on item remove

What I’d like to happen for those two events is to alert a list of the IDs/values of the items in the input box.

Can you help me understand how to get these values?

Thanks

Since the plugin is tied to the actual select element, not the option elements inside, you should be able to write a function that just alerts out all option details of the contained options of the parent select. Maybe something like:

$("#select").fcbkcomplete({
       onselect: function() {
           var optionList;
           $("option",this).each(function() {
               optionList += $(this).attr("id") + " : " + $(this).val() + "\n";
           });
           alert(optionList);
       }
});
