Hi, i have a select box like that

<select name="sehirler_post" id="sehirler_post">

i am getting values via jquery. i know two different ways to get values. first one is :

var sehirler_post = jQuery('select#sehirler_post').attr('value');

second one is:

jQuery('#sehirler_post ').val()

and finally here is my problem, i have something like this:

jQuery("#okay").load("ajax_post_category.php?okay="+id+"");

i would like to use selectbox value instead of id (okay="+id+"). so, i must change +id+ part with select box value. however i can not do it.. i tried to do like that:

jQuery("#okay").load("ajax_post_category.php?okay="+jQuery('#sehirler_post').val()+"");

it did not work. there must be a way, so i can use selectbox value instead of id in my load function. if anyone helps me, ill be so glad.

regards
