You can use either length property and length is better on performance than size      input1 option   length   OR you can use size function like  removed in jQuery v3      input1 option   size       x000D   x000D    document  ready function       console log     input1 option   size        console log     input1 option   length       x000D   lt script src  https   cdnjs cloudflare com ajax libs jquery 1 9 1 jquery min js  gt  lt  script gt   lt select data-attr  dropdown  id  input1  gt      lt option value  Male  id  Male  gt Male lt  option gt      lt option value  Female  id  Female  gt Female lt  option gt   lt  select gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

In a multi-select option box  you can use     input1  selected   length  to get the number of selected options  This can be useful to disable buttons if a certain minimum number of options aren t met   function refreshButtons          if      input  selected   length    0                    submit   attr   disabled    disabled              else                   submit   removeAttr   disabled
