jquery - Select options without value attribute -
is correct or invalid markup (when option has no value)?
expected jquery behaviour .val() when there no value="" assigned?
<select id="select_id"> <option></option> <option>name</option> <option>recent</option> </select> if use $("#select_id").val(); "name"/"recent", if option had value, value's content.
i know there .text() "name" , "recent" in example. confused why .val() gives me .text() when there no value assigned.
fiddle (notice different result of alerts)
this has nothing jquery. that's how browser handles it.
$("#select_id").change(function () { var val = $("#select_id option:selected")[0].value; alert(val); // somevalue or recent }); reference: http://www.w3.org/tr/html5/forms.html#attr-option-value
the
valueattribute provides value element. value ofoptionelement value ofvaluecontent attribute, if there one, or, if there not, value of element'stextidl attribute.
