Question

Is it possible to dynamically pass information from a dynamically created option dropdown list. All the Option’s are created from a JSON call. The end goal would be to pass the ID to another JSON call to retrieve data. I’m currently using a switch based on each id#…would that be the only way?

HTML:

<option id="-1">DEVELOPER GROUP</option>

The numbers increase up to 5 for now but we are adding more groups daily

JS:

$("#fDistList").change(function () {
var id = $(this).find("option:selected").attr("id");

switch (id) {
    case "-1":
        console.log("Developer Group has been selected");
        break;

Answer 1

You could set the value of the options to the value you want to pass to the other call.

<option value="yourvalue">DEVELOPER GROUP</option>

Then all you’d have to do is

$("#fDistList").change(function () {
    var id = $(this).val();

Assuming #fDistList is you select.
