Adding Onclick Event To Html Select Option

I added onclick event to my select tag like in the following code - Say Hello but it does not work.... How can I set the opti

Solution 1:

Try it in the onchange handler:

function checkAlert(evt) {
  if (evt.target.value === "Say Hello") {
    alert('Hello');
  }
}

<select onchange="checkAlert(event)">
  <option>Test</option>
  <option>Say Hello</option>
</select>

Solution 2:

I prefer using Ids to add event listener to separate your code from html so I add an Id to your select tag with "my-select" for example and select this tag by its Id and add onchange event listener. This is the code:

<select id="my-select">
    <option value="1">Say Hello</option>
</select>
<script>
document.getElementById("my-select").addEventListener("change", printMsg);
function printMsg() {
    alert("Hello");
}
</script>

Solution 3:

you should use onchange event on the select element itself.

<select onchange="alert('hello')">
    <option value="0">Say Hello</option>
    <option value="1">Some other option</option>
</select>

hope that helps,
