Chosen get selected option custom attribute

Question

I'm filling a JQuery Chosen with values, and I'm setting a custom attribute to get it later when an option is selected, but I can't find a nice way to do it.

My code is the following:

$( "#ddlChosen" ).chosen();

for (var i = 0; i < entities.length; i++) {
    $( "#ddlChosen" ).append($('<option>', { value: entities[i].id, 
            text: entities[i].name, uniqueID: entities[i].uniqueID }));
}

And what I want is to get the uniqueID property. Is there a way to accomplish this?

Any help will be appreciated :)

Answer 1

try this

var options = $( "#ddlChosen option:selected" );

for (var i = 0; i < options.length; i++) {
    var property = $(options[i]).attr('uniqueID');

    alert(property);
}
