I am using jquery chosen on a select box. Then I am cloning this to display same select box in other div. Here I am just cloning the select box and not the entire div because if i clone whole div it will clone the html added by chosen(). Now I want to get the selected option in last select box which I have cloned.
<select class="chosen-select" id="critaria-1" data-placeholder="Choose ...">
<option value="text">Text</option>
<option value="Department">Department</option>
<option value="Country">Country</option>
<option value="State">State</option>
<option value="Industry">Industry</option>
<option value="Sub-Industry">Sub-Industry</option>
<option value="Revenue">Revenue</option>
<option value="Title">Title</option>
<option value="Employees">Number of employees</option>
<option value="News">News</option>
<option value="Intrests">Intrests</option>
<option value="Interaction">Social Interaction</option>
</select>
JS code :
var clone_search = $('.chosen-select').last().clone();
clone_search.prop('id','critaria-' + id); // add a new id
clone_search.find('option:selected').remove(); // remove the last selected
Actually I dont want to repeat the selected option from parent in the cloned select box
