Ok so i thought that maybe the problem had something to do with the ajax request so i tried adding the ajaxStart function. See below.
$("#ddl_customer").change(function(){ $("#ddl_customer").ajaxStart(function() { cuslist = $(this).val().join(", "); }); alert(cuslist); }); $("#ddl_customer").selectChain({ target: market, url: callback_url, type: "POST", data: { ajax: true, multsel: market_selects, cust_val: cuslist } }).trigger('change'); So im trying to get all the selected values from ddl_customer in the first block of code. then pass it to cust_val in the second block of code. note that the alert(custlist) outputs what i expect. but when i check cust_val in firebug.... it outputs the entire list, not only selected values. Please Help!:(
