Alternative of .selector property which has been removed in JQuery 3.0

Question

.selector property has been permanently removed in the JQuery version 3.0 so I'm confused about what should be the replacement of .selector? In my code I have used the .selector as below:

var TaxYearNode = $(EmployerLatestYear).find("TaxYear");
var TaxYear = $(TaxYearNode[j].firstChild.data).selector;

This line is showing an error as .selector property not available in JQuery 3.0 Please suggest the alternative way to resolve this problem in JQuery 3.6.3.

var EmployerLatestYear = xml.find("Table1"); 

for (var j = 0; j < EmployerLatestYear.find("ID").length; j++) {
 
var TaxYearNode = $(EmployerLatestYear).find("TaxYear"); 

var TaxYear = $(TaxYearNode[j].firstChild.data).selector; 
}

I assume you are missing either a `.` or `#` in `.find("TaxYear")` because right now find is looking for this element `` — Carsten Løvbo Andersen, Feb 09 '23 at 08:16
I am not clear what the second line does, could you post the relevant HTML snippet? In any case your `TaxYearNode` is a jQuery object, to be used for example like `TaxYearNode.val()` — Peter Thoeny, Feb 09 '23 at 08:33
var EmployerLatestYear = xml.find("Table1"); for (var j = 0; j < EmployerLatestYear.find("ID").length; j++) { var TaxYearNode = $(EmployerLatestYear).find("TaxYear"); var TaxYear = $(TaxYearNode[j].firstChild.data).selector; } — Gopal Biswas, Feb 09 '23 at 09:05
@CarstenLøvboAndersen Please look at the added code for reference. — Gopal Biswas, Feb 09 '23 at 09:09
@GopalBiswas again you are missing something in `.find("Table1")` — Carsten Løvbo Andersen, Feb 09 '23 at 09:27
@CarstenLøvboAndersen No, it's perfectly working in the JQuery version jquery-1.10.2 — Gopal Biswas, Feb 09 '23 at 09:54

Here are few ways to get around the deprecation:

Get exact selector in jQuery / alternative to .selector

Get the current jQuery selector string?

For example:

index = document.getElementById('category').value
select = $("#category option[value=#{index}]")[0].innerHTML
