Jquery: Getting selected values from two or more dropdown lists

Question

I have two or more dropdown lists

<select id='ddl1'>
    <option>aa</option>
    <option>bb</option>
    <option>cc</option>
    <option>dd</option>
<select>

<select id='ddl2'>
    <option>aa</option>
    <option>bb</option>
    <option>cc</option>
    <option>dd</option>
<select>

I want to retrieve the selected values from both ddl.

My current code:

myvalues = $('select[id^=ddl]').val();

What am i doing wrong?

Answer 1

Try myvalues = $(‘select[id^=“ddl”]’).val();
