The selectedIndex
property of the HTMLOptionsCollection
interface is the numeric index of the first selected <option>
element, if any, or â1
if no <option>
is selected. Setting this property selects the option at that index and deselects all other options in this collection, while setting it to -1
deselects any currently selected elements. It is exactly equivalent to the selectedIndex
property of the HTMLSelectElement
that owns this collection.
A number.
Examplesconst optionColl = document.getElementById("select").options;
console.log(`selected option: ${optionColl.selectedIndex}`); // the index of the first selected option, or -1 if no option is selected
optionColl.selectedIndex = 0; // selects the first item
optionColl.selectedIndex = -1; // deselects any selected option
