jquery select the value and show

Question

I have used jquery, when I click on the dropdown it will take the value and will search related to the input. But it is not taking the value correctly. If I click on one value it is taking the next value.

<%= Html.DropDownList("Roles", ViewData["Roles"] as SelectList,"Select" , new {onchange = "javascript:ddlRoleChanged();", id="ddlRoles",  @class = "dropdownStyle2"})%>

This is my dropdown. I am taking the id and pass into jquery like the following,

function ddlRoleChanged() {debugger;
     var selectedValue = $('#ddlRoles').val();
     window.location = '/home/homepage?variable=' + selectedValue.valueOf();
 };

selectedvalue is taking the value. But it is not coming correctly. Please help me.

If you have a specific problem please explain it properly. *"But it is not coming correctly"* is not a useful problem description. — Felix Kling, Mar 24 '14 at 06:18

 var selectedValue = $('#ddlRoles').val();

will give you the selected value of the drop down element. Use this to get the selected options text.

$('#ur dropdown id:selected').text();

Why should the OP try that? There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with their code. – Felix Kling Mar 24 '14 at 06:14
