Get value(s) in jQuery MultiSelect dropdown?

I found this jQuery code which is easy to use, but I can't find a way to get the selected value. I am using Control 7, and would like to have a button beside that onClick show the values there are selected in the multi-dropdown.

You should just be able to do this: $("#idofinputfield").val() and it will return you an array that you could loop over.

You can select the checkboxes in the div next to the element you are interested in and map their values to an array:

var values = $("#control_7").next().find(":checked").map( function() { return this.value; });

You can select inputs that are checked using the :checked selector. Check out the jQuery documentation.

Here is a more complete answer:

var valueOfSelected = $('input:checked').attr('name');
$('showNextToInput').html('valueOfSelected');

Wrap that in a function and use it in the callback method (like example 6 in the demo you provided).
