HTML CODE:

     $(document).ready(function() {
            $(function() {
                var data = [{
                    "label": "WKS-FINGER1",
                    "children": [{
                        "label": "WKS1",
                        "value": "WKS1"
                    }, {
                        "label": "WKS2",
                        "value": "WKS2"
                    }]
                }, {
                    "label": "WKS-FINGER",
                    "children": [{
                        "label": "WKS3",
                        "value": "WKS3"
                    }]
                }, {
                    "label": "WKS-FINGER2",
                    "children": [{
                        "label": "WKS4",
                        "value": "WKS4"
                    }]
                }];
    
                $('#myid').multiselect({
                    enableClickableOptGroups: true,
                    buttonWidth: '200px',
                    onChange: function(option, checked, selected, element) {
                        var temp = jQuery.extend(true, {}, newData);
                        var selectionData = [];
    					var selectionGroup = [];
                        $('#myid option:selected').each(function(e) {
                            for (n in newData) {
                                for (d in newData[n]) {
                                    if (newData[n][d].value == $(this).val()) {
                                        for (i in temp[n]) {
                                            if (temp[n][i].value == $(this).val())
                                                temp[n].splice(i, 1);
                                        }
    
                                    }
                                }
    
                            }
                            selectionData.push($(this).val());
                        });
    
                        for (t in temp) {
                            if (temp[t].length == 0) {
                                selectionGroup.push(t);
                            } else {
                                for (tt in newData[t]) {
                                    if (newData[t][tt] == temp[t][tt]) {
                                        selectionData.push(newData[t][tt]["value"]);
                                    }
                                }
                            }
    
                        }
                        console.log("Group : " + selectionGroup);
    					console.log("Data : " +selectionData);
    					$("#output").html("Group : " + selectionGroup + "<br>Data : " +selectionData);
    					//alert("Group : " + selectionGroup + "\nData : " +selectionData);
    
                    }
                });
                var newData = {};
                $('#myid').multiselect('dataprovider', data);
                var clonedData = jQuery.extend(true, {}, data);
                for (i in clonedData) {
                    newData[clonedData[i]["label"]] = clonedData[i]["children"];
                }
            });
        });

           <option value="2">2</option>

         <div id="multiselection">

    		</select>
    	</div>
         <span id="output"></span>

Solution

  • Try to add change event listener to #hrs-

    $("#hrs").on("change",function(){
       var sel1 = $(this).find(":selected").val();
       var sel2 = getSelectValues(document.getElementById('myid')); // for multi select options
    });
    

    This will get you values for both drop down menus on change of select with id hrs.

    I have used the function getSelectValues to get selected values from multi select box from this answer.

    Please refer this fiddle.
