Let’s say the following is our dropdown −
<select> <option>John</option> <option>David</option> <option>Chris</option> <option>Mike</option> <option>Bob</option> <option>Carol</option> </select>
Following is our array −
var listOfNames = ["Chris", "Robert", "Mike"];
To check whether the selected list value contains a value in array, use −
$(‘select’).on(‘change’).
