如何 Select 某个选项字段

Question

Jquery is not my main language PHP is.

Anyway,

What I am trying to do is detect if a field has been selected my code almost works but the issue is that when it selects the certain option I get a alert which is good but then when I select the dropdown again [since its being selected] I get another alert which I don't want. What I do want is once the user select the dropdown then clicks the option again I want another alert

$('#_privacy_selection').click(function() {

    if($("#_privacy_selection option:selected").text() == 'Certain Users'){
         alert(9);
         return false;
 }

});

Thanks

Instead of click function use change function on <option> It will be fired only when you change selected option.

$('#_privacy_selection').change(function() {

    if($("#_privacy_selection option:selected").text() == 'Certain Users'){
         alert(9);
         return false;
    }

});
