Get this row drop down value

Forms

I'm currently trying to get a drop down value from a table. The table will have a different value from the drop down in each row. I currently have the calculation working for each row though I would like to get the value or the text from the drop down value that is selected. I currently have something like this:

$(this).find('.dropdown:selected').val()

I was wondering if my syntax is correct.

Any help would be appreciated thanks!

I didn't find possible place for dropdown field value in your code.

If you want to use the value inside the each function, add custom css class "dropdown" to the dropdown field and use "$(this).find(".dropdown select").val()" where you want to use the dropdown field value.

If you want to get the value of a dropdown field, there is no need to find selected option, using val() would be enough:

$("select").val()

However there can be multiple select on a row, so I would suggest that you set custom css class on the drop down field, like this ("dropdown" is the custom css class):

$("tr").each(function(i){
  console.log($(this).find(".dropdown select").val())
})

My current loop is similar to that though my syntax is as follows:

$('.cf-table-block tbody tr').each(function () {
            eachCost =  parseNumber($(this).find('.eachCost input').val()); 
            quant = parseNumber($(this).find('.quant input').val());
            });

With what I currently have would I be able to line 2 of your code within mine and have it work correctly?

I attempted this and it did work. The only issue is that it only works when I click on and then out of an input field from the table and/or row. I am doing this with a blur and input trigger for the function. This is only effected in internet explorer. This works in firefox and chrome. Are there any suggestions to have it trigger in IE as well when the drop down is selected?
