Question

jQuery('#additional-channels-list select').live('change', function(){
    var current_id = parseInt(jQuery(this).val());
    select_values.push(current_id);
    console.log(select_values);
    console.log(jQuery.inArray(current_id, select_values));
});

I want to create multiple select without ctrl, so i need to store values in array. When i trying to check values inArray method returns to me the position of selected element in select list instead of information about current value in array. Where i am wrong?

Answer 1

InArray returns item index, as from jQuery documentation:

The $.inArray() method is similar to JavaScript’s native .indexOf()
method in that it returns -1 when it doesn’t find a match. If the
first element within the array matches value, $.inArray() returns 0.
