Check if selected dropdown value is empty using jQuery

Question

Here is the dropdown in question: ``` ``` What I want to do is check if the current value is empty: ``` if ($("EventStartTimeMin").val() === "") { // ... } ``` But it does not work, even though the value is empty. Any help is much appreciated.

Accepted Answer

You forgot the `#` on the id selector:

```
if ($("#EventStartTimeMin").val() === "") {
    // ...
}
```
