To get the selected option value first, we need to access the <select> element by using its id attribute then it has a value property which is holding the data you are selected.
const places = document.getElementById('places');// on change eventlistener is attachedplaces.addEventListener('change', ()=>{ // getting value console.log(places.value);})In the above code, we have attached onchange event listener to the select element. so that when a option is selected its value is logged inside the console.
