Getting the values from the multiselect Group in jquery plugin

Question

I am working on multiselect group. Here is the link i have populated some data in the multiselect group and the users can select their requirements in that. http://vignesh.gvignesh.org/chose/chose.php

Here once show selected button is clicked i am calling javascript function.

function chos()
  {
        var a = $(".chzn-select").chosen(); 
        alert(a);
  }

it is not showing the selected values in alert box. Some [object][object] is displayed. i dont know how to get the selected values. If my javascript function for getting the values is wrong kindly let me know the new function.

Thanks in Advance.

Answer 1

Just use $("#chossen").val() , which returns an array of value s that are currently selected.

To get the actual option elements that are selected, try $("#chossen").find("option:selected"); , and then loop through those (obviously) - in case you want to get their text .
