I'm having trouble retrieving the selected value from a dropdown menu as it always returns the first value.
Initially, the dropdown is empty. When I press a button to open the modal and populate the dropdown with options, it seems that the issue arises because I am not loading the select options until the button is clicked. I tested this theory with another dropdown and it worked correctly.
Here is the code for the modal:
<div class="modal fade" id="myModalPremios" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button>
<h4 class="modal-title" id="myModalLabel">Premios</h4>
</div>
<div id="premios" class="modal-body">
<jsp:include page="../frag/premios-list-frag.jsp"/>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button class="btn btn-danger" aria-hidden="true" data-dismiss="modal">Ok</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
This is the form inside the modal:
<form class="form-horizontal" role="form">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="hidden" id="id" name="quiniela.id" value="${quiniela.id }"/>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="plantillaOwnerQuiniela" class="col-sm-4 control-label">Quiniela</label>
<div class="col-sm-5">
<select class="form-control" name="quiniela.plantillaOwnerQuiniela" id="plantillaOwnerQuiniela" ${read }>
<c:forEach items="${lista2 }" var="pl">
<option value="${pl.id }"
<c:if test="${pl.id == quiniela.plantillaOwnerQuiniela.id}">selected="selected"</c:if>>${pl.nombrePlantillaOwner} - ${pl.precioQuiniela}Bs</option>
</c:forEach>
</select>
</div>
</div>
</form>
This is how I trigger the modal to show up:
$("#myModal").modal("show");
I have considered that maybe the element is not present in the DOM. Therefore, I attempted to use this function to see if anything would happen but unfortunately, it did not work as expected.
$('#plantillaOwnerQuiniela').on('change',function() {
var selectVal = $('#plantillaOwnerQuiniela :selected').val();
alert(selectVal);
});
