jQuery selector statement selecting a select box option tag

is there a selector for when an option selected in a select box like jQuery('select option[@sele开发者_如何学Pythoncted=....] this were im confused is it just jQuery(select > option[@selected]) and also how do you test a an option in the jQuery selector statement that it's not the first option

It would look like this (note there's no @, this was removed in jQuery 1.3+):

jQuery("select option:selected")

If you wanted to get anything but the first, you can use :not(:first-child), like this:

jQuery("select option:selected:not(:first-child)")
//or...
jQuery("select option:gt(0):selected")

Though to get the value, you'd typically just want to call .val() directly on the <select>, like this:

jQuery("select").val()

$("select option:selected");

or

$(this, "option:selected");

test not first option

$("select option:not(eq0)"); <---I think
