Set Selected Value For Dropdowns

The below code works only 1 time not every time var selectedVal = $('#drpGender_0').find('option:selected').text(); if (selectedVal == 'Male') { $('#drpGender_1').fi

Solution 1:

$('#drpGender_0').on('change', function() {
  var selectedVal = $('#drpGender_0').val();

  if (selectedVal == "Male") {
    $('#drpGender_1').val('Female');
  } else if (selectedVal == "Female") {
    $('#drpGender_1').val('Male');
  }
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select id="drpGender_0">
  <option value="">Select Gender</option>
  <option value="Male">Male</option>
  <option value="Female">Female</option>
</select>

<select id="drpGender_1">
  <option value="">Select Gender</option>
  <option value="Male">Male</option>
  <option value="Female">Female</option>
</select>

you can also use code

$('#drpGender_0').on('change', function() {
  var selectedVal = $('#drpGender_0').val();

  if (selectedVal == "Male") {
    $('#drpGender_1').find("option:contains('Female')").attr("selected", "selected");

  } else if (selectedVal == "Female") {
    $('#drpGender_1').find("option:contains('Male')").attr("selected", "selected");
  }
});

Solution 2:

Try this code:

$('#drpGender_0').on('change', function() {

    if (this.value == "Male") {
        $('#drpGender_1').find("option:contains('Male')").text('Male').attr("select    ed", false);
        $('#drpGender_1').find("option:contains('Female')").text('Female').attr("selected", "selected");
    }
    else if (this.value == "Female") {

        $('#drpGender_1').find("option:contains('Female')").text('Female').attr("selected", false);
        $('#drpGender_1').find("option:contains('Male')").text('Male').attr("selected", "selected");

    }

});
