    copied!<p>I have this html on a web page:</p> <pre><code>&lt;select name="chapter_select" class="chapter_select"&gt; &lt;option value="http://www.example.com/chapter/1"&gt;Chapter 1&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="http://www.example.com/chapter/2"&gt;Chapter 2&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="http://www.example.com/chapter/3"&gt;Chapter 3&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="http://www.example.com/chapter/4"&gt;Chapter 4&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="http://www.example.com/chapter/5"&gt;Chapter 5&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="http://www.example.com/chapter/6" selected="selected"&gt;Chapter 6&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; </code></pre> <p>And this variables:</p> <pre><code>getInformationsFromCurrentPage : function(doc, curUrl, callback) { //This function runs in the DOM of the current consulted page var curChapName = $("select.chapter_select:first option:selected", doc).text(); var chapurl = $("select.chapter_select:first option:selected", doc).val(); callback({"name": name, "currentChapter": curChapName, "currentMangaURL": nameurl, "currentChapterURL": chapurl}); }, } </code></pre> <p>The problem is that both return the same text value. chapurl should return the url, not the text value. This was working until the website modified their site.</p> <p>I know that I'm going to be pretty picky but this is the manual for the development of the extension and the doc variable is a must <a href="http://www.allmangasreader.com/dev.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.allmangasreader.com/dev.php</a> just look out for the getInformationsFromCurrentPage function. It's using the jQuery 1.4.2 so maybe its that, the weird thing is that other sites just work as it.</p> <p>UPDATE: The server was using a script (rewriting the html) making me think that the dropdown list was on the top. I used some selectors to get the correct one following the source.</p>
 

Querying!

An individual column

Larger individual text columns get their own page to allow for proper reading.
