Hi, I'm trying to use jQuery to make an ajax request based on a selected option.

Is there a simple way to retrieve the selected option id (e.g. "id2") using jQuery?

<select id="my_select">
   <option value="o1" id="id1">Option1</option>
   <option value="o2" id="id2">Option2</option>
</select>


$("#my_select").change(function() {
            //do something with the id of the selected option
        });
