I'm trying to do that this code:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('select').change(function () {
alert(this.value);
});
Alerts a message but only when one of the various dropdowns onscreen is selected. But it works whenever I pick ANY dropdown. How can I do it so that it only works with one specific dropdown?
Simply give your respective select tag an id, then use that id for your selector in your jQuery:
$('#select1').change(function ()
{
alert(this.value);
});<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select id="select1">
<option value="">--Please Choose--</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
</select>
<select id="select2">
<option value="">--Please Choose--</option>
<option value="A">Apple</option>
<option value="B">Banana</option>
<option value="C">Cherry</option>
</select>
