jquery: see if clicked element is select form, and output all the options on a new overlay.

Question

i am trying to do something like this in jquery.

if ($(e.target) == "select"){
//var output = $(e.target).each option

//display newoverlay(output)
}

Answer 1

How about:

if($(e.target).is('select')) {
    $('option', e.target).each(function() {
        /* "this" is the <option> element in here */
        // newoverlay(this)
    })
}

Although I'm not sure what you want to do with the individual <option> elements.
