(function() {

    var value = $('[name=request_status]').change(function() {
        if (confirm('You are about to update the status of this request, please confirm')) {
            $(this).closest('form').submit(); // submit the form
        }else {
            $(this).val(value); // set the value back
        }
    }).val();
})();

如何使用一个自定义的jQuery事件与角手表类型的接口;

// adds a custom jQuery event which gives the previous and current values of an input on change
(function ($) {
    // new event type tl_change
    jQuery.event.special.tl_change = {
        add: function (handleObj) {
            // use mousedown and touchstart so that if you stay focused on the
            // element and keep changing it, it continues to update the prev val
            $(this)
                .on('mousedown.tl_change touchstart.tl_change', handleObj.selector, focusHandler)
                .on('change.tl_change', handleObj.selector, function (e) {
                // use an anonymous funciton here so we have access to the
                // original handle object to call the handler with our args
                var $el = $(this);
                // call our handle function, passing in the event, the previous and current vals
                // override the change event name to our name
                e.type = "tl_change";
                handleObj.handler.apply($el, [e, $el.data('tl-previous-val'), $el.val()]);
            });
        },
        remove: function (handleObj) {
            $(this)
                .off('mousedown.tl_change touchstart.tl_change', handleObj.selector, focusHandler)
                .off('change.tl_change', handleObj.selector)
                .removeData('tl-previous-val');
        }
    };

    // on focus lets set the previous value of the element to a data attr
    function focusHandler(e) {
        var $el = $(this);
        $el.data('tl-previous-val', $el.val());
    }
})(jQuery);

// usage
$('.some-element').on('tl_change', '.delegate-maybe', function (e, prev, current) {
    console.log(e);         // regular event object
    console.log(prev);      // previous value of input (before change)
    console.log(current);   // current value of input (after change)
    console.log(this);      // element
});

最好的解决办法:

$('select').on('selectric-before-change', function (event, element, selectric) {
    var current = element.state.currValue; // index of current value before select a new one
    var selected = element.state.selectedIdx; // index of value that will be selected

    // choose what you need
    console.log(element.items[current].value);
    console.log(element.items[current].text);
    console.log(element.items[current].slug);
});

使用以下代码，我已经测试了它和它的工作

var prev_val;
$('.dropdown').focus(function() {
    prev_val = $(this).val();
}).change(function(){
            $(this).unbind('focus');
            var conf = confirm('Are you sure want to change status ?');

            if(conf == true){
                //your code
            }
            else{
                $(this).val(prev_val);
                $(this).bind('focus');
                return false;
            }
});

手动跟踪值。

var selects = jQuery("select.track_me");

selects.each(function (i, element) {
  var select = jQuery(element);
  var previousValue = select.val();
  select.bind("change", function () {
    var currentValue = select.val();

    // Use currentValue and previousValue
    // ...

    previousValue = currentValue;
  });
});

 $("#dropdownId").on('focus', function () {
    var ddl = $(this);
    ddl.data('previous', ddl.val());
}).on('change', function () {
    var ddl = $(this);
    var previous = ddl.data('previous');
    ddl.data('previous', ddl.val());
});
