selectedIndex selector (check if array of selects have selectedIndex > 0)

Question

Instead of writing a temporary boolean, an $.each() on an array of <select> elements, and find if one's prop('selectedIndex') > 0, I'd like to do something like:

$('select[id^="idPrefixForTheArrayOfSelects-"][selectedIndex="0"]').length == 0

but it doesn't work.

Is it possible to select by value, selectedIndex, etc?

Answer 1

You can do this -

$('select[id^="idPrefixForTheArrayOfSelects-"]').filter(function(){
 return this.selectedIndex === 0;
}).length == 0
