Hi Jojo,
It’s not working because you probably don’t have the html select dropdown on the page or you are using incorrect ID. In your code, you are using #myselect. This means that your HTML select dropdown MUST have an ID of myselect. Unless this is fixed, it won’t work.

In order to help you, I have added a complete example that shows you exactly how to do it. Just refer to the example above and try it out & let me know how that goes.

alert($(“#myselect option:selected”).index();
the above shows -1.
