Hi,

I have a few number of dropdown lists on the page, having options with Value and Text.
I want to add alt tag and title tag to all the options of the dropdown with the help of jquery.
I wrote some code but the thing is not working. The code that i wrote is below-

JavaScript

$('#statusCode option').each(
function () {
var option = $(this);
option.title = option.val;
option.prop('title', option.val);
alert('asd');
});

Over here statusCode is the id of the dropdownlist that i am currently working with.
Please help, provide inputs

Hi Aditya,

Please try this out and let me know your feed back.

$(document).ready(function () {
var options = $("#statusCode option");
optionlength = options.length;
//option.title = option.val;
//option.prop('title', option.val);
alert(optionlength);
for (var i = 0; i < optionlength; i++) {
$(options[i]).attr("title", $(options[i]).val());
}
});

Thanks :)
