Date: 2016dec19 Language: javaScript Library: jQuery Q. jQuery: get all values in a multiple select A. With jQuery its easy but with one caveat.

<select id=mysel multiple size=5> <option>One</option> <option>Two</option> <option>Three</option> <option>Four</option> <option>Five</option> <option>Six</option> <option>Seven</option> </select> <script> var arr = $('#mysel').val(); // Nicely jQuery returns an array with an entry for each selected value if (arr == null) arr = []; // If nothing is select, you get null so I set it to an empty array console.log('There are ' + arr.length + ' things selected'); </script>
