I am trying to alert a value from a Select menu.

I have tried both:
alert(JSON.stringify(Appery("Contact_Select").val()));

alert(Appery("Contact_Select").val());

but instead of getting the text of the selected element in Contact_Select I only get a " or ,

Hi Milton,

Have you tried with code.text();/code instead of code.val();/code

Yes, that was returning all text labels for each item, not just the selected ones.

You want to return only selected ones?

Yes. The text or value from only the selected items.

Try this way:
prealert(Appery('myselectmenu').find(':selected').text());/pre

• where 'myselectmenu' is the name of your select component.

This does not work either...

alert($("#Contact_Select option:selected").text());

That worked! Thank you very much

Any suggestions on how to make this return a comma seperated list? Right now it is returning multiple items but combining then into one string with no spaces.

Hello!

To get array of all records use the following code:
prevar arr = [];
Appery('myselectmenu').find(':selected').each( function() {
arr.push($(this).val())
})/preAfter you get array you can expose it any way you need.
