AEM 6.3 - Coral Select List, How to get previously selected value on change event.

[ankushj18225577]

I have a progressive drop down in my dialog. My requirement is to get previously selected value on change event.

Basically, I want's to show confirmation box to the user only if he selected a different value. And if the user clicks on the cancel button, the previous value should be automatically selected.

Hi,

You can do this by using jquery, below is the sample code snippet to get previous value  from dropdown

(function () {
   var previous;

  $("select").on('focus', function () {
   // Store the current value on focus and on change
  previous = this.value;
   }).change(function() {
   // Do something with the previous value after the change
  alert(previous);

   // Make sure the previous value is updated
  previous = this.value;
   });
})();

Thanks

Arun
