Select list value undefined in $(document).ready
- by C. Ross
I have the following code, which I want to load values on a selection change, and also do the selection load initially (since FF 'saves' the last value of the drop down under certain circumstances). The select part of the function works correctly, but for some reason when calling load2 directly the value of $('#select1').value is undefined, even though when I check the DOM in Firebug right after load select1.value has a value. How can I run the load2 function when select1.value is ready?
$(document).ready(function() {
//Setup change hook
$('#select1').change(function(event) {
//Remove the old options right away
$('#select2').find('option').remove();
//Load the new options
load2(this.value);
});
//Do load for current value
load2($('#select1').value);
});
