How can do select tag as value pair?

Question

I have a pair of values. I don't want a <key, value> pair. I want a <value,value> pair.

I have created a select tag. and its options are the pairs.

<option value="value1" >value2</option>

The code below selects the options that have value=i.

options = $("#myselect option[value='"+i+"']");

I want to select the option that value=val1 and text = val2.

Any other idea?

You can use contains to further filter the selection:

options = $("#myselect option[value="+i+"]:contains('value"+j+"')");

that _make up your mind_ comment was epic. May be because of invalid formatting not displaying the ``? lol :D – Ejaz Apr 29 '13 at 10:12

You could use jQuery's filter() for this

        var i = 1;
        var options = $("#myselect option[value='value" + i + "']").filter(function(){
           return $(this).text() == 'value'+(i+1)
        });
        console.log(options);

HTML

  <select id="myselect">
     <option value="value1">value1</option>
     <option value="value1">value2</option>
     <option value="value1">value3</option>
  </select>

selects <option value="value1">value2</option>
