选择中的值未显示在输入值中

Question

The select option is within a fieldset and uses AJAX to Post the data to a Mongodb. For some reason all the other values will show up in the DB except for the location option.

Below is the Jade code and JS for the function for adding it. This is my first project and not sure if I'm just missing something obvious or not.

Also, when I change the type to number for some inputs it invalidates everything and it posts and entry to the DB with no data attached to it. Any ideas?

 // Add User function addUser(event) { event.preventDefault(); // Super basic validation - increase errorCount variable if any fields are blank var errorCount = 0; $('#addUser input').each(function(index, val) { if($(this).val() === '') { errorCount++; } }); // Check and make sure errorCount's still at zero if(errorCount === 0) { // If it is, compile all user info into one object var newUser = { 'Date_Entered': $('#addUser fieldset input#inputDate_Entered').val(), 'First_Name': $('#addUser fieldset input#inputFirst_Name').val(), 'Last_Name': $('#addUser fieldset input#inputLast_Name').val(), 'Incident_Date': $('#addUser fieldset input#inputIncident_Date').val(), 'Resoulution_Date': $('#addUser fieldset input#inputResolution_Date').val(), 'Location': $('#addUser fieldset input#inputlocation').val(), 'Damage': $('#addUser fieldset input#inputDamage').val(), 'Cost': $('#addUser fieldset input#inputCost').val(), 'Coupon': $('#addUser fieldset input#inputCoupon').val(), 'Vehicle_Year': $('#addUser fieldset input#inputVehicle_Year').val(), 'Make': $('#addUser fieldset input#inputMake').val(), 'Resolution': $('#addUser fieldset input#inputResolution').val(), 'Model': $('#addUser fieldset input#inputModel').val(), 'Comments': $('#addUser fieldset input#inputComments').val(), 'Claim_type': $('#addUser fieldset input#inputClaim_type').val(), 'ManagersName': $('#addUser fieldset input#inputManagersName').val(), 'Resolution_Date': $('#addUser fieldset input#inputResolution_Date').val(), 'CouponQuantity': $('#addUser fieldset input#inputCouponQuantity').val(), 'CouponType': $('#addUser fieldset input#inputCouponType').val(), 'Address': $('#addUser fieldset input#inputAddress').val(), 'City': $('#addUser fieldset input#inputCity').val(), 'State': $('#addUser fieldset input#inputState').val(), 'Zip': $('#addUser fieldset input#inputZip').val(), 'Email': $('#addUser fieldset input#inputEmail').val(), } // Use AJAX to post the object to our adduser service $.ajax({ type: 'POST', data: newUser, url: '/users/adduser', dataType: 'JSON' }).done(function( response ) { // Check for successful (blank) response if (response.msg === '') { // Clear the form inputs $('#addUser fieldset input').val(''); // Update the table populateTable(); } else { // If something goes wrong, alert the error message that our service returned alert('Error: ' + response.msg); } }); } else { // If errorCount is more than 0, error out alert('Please fill in all fields'); return false; } };

The problem is actually the strange selectors, this

$('#addUser fieldset input#inputlocation')

does not match a select element, that would be

$('#addUser fieldset select#inputlocation')

but they are both wrong, it should be just

$('#inputlocation')
