jQuery <select>: how to get $(this.id) :first ?

Question

Normally, we get first value that way:

$("#color option:first").val()

But I need something like

$(this.id option:first).val()

and of course it doesn't work.

Answer 1

$("option:first", this).val()

Another option is find (children may work as well, depending on your structure):

$(this).find("option:first").val()
