JavaScript

There is a form, inside the table, in the table select , it is necessary to cycle through val from option and depending on val ... that's another story)

$('.table tr').each((index, el) => {
                            const firstTd = $(el).find('.cat').children("option:selected").val();
                            if (firstTd === 13) {
                                console.log("есть 13");
                            }

I can't select val itself from option, what am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

const select = $(".select")
if(select.val == "13"){
    alert("13");
}

This is in case only 1 option can be selected
