The selected
property of the HTMLOptionElement
interface specifies the current selectedness of the element; that is, whether the <option>
is selected or not.
The presence of the HTML selected
attribute indicates the option is selected by default. It does not indicate whether this option is currently selected: if the option's state changes, the selected
content attribute does not reflect the change; only the HTMLOptionElement
's selected
IDL property is updated. The selected
attribute is reflected by the defaultSelected
property.
A boolean.
Examplesconst optionElement = document.getElementById("water");
console.log(optionElement.selected);
