Getting name value

[Xtremer360]

What I'm wanting to do is grab the Charactername of the first characterid in the CharacterIDList and I'm not sure with all the factors i have how to accomplish this.  And after I get the name then assign in to var defaultchar in place of the ? mark.

 

 

var defaultchar = ?
var liElements = $("ul#characterlist li");
             var characterIDList = "";
             for( var i = 0; i < liElements.length; i++ ) {
                var liElement = $( liElements[ i ] );
                
                // only start appending commas in after the first characterID
                if( i > 0 ) {
        	       characterIDList += ","; 
                }
        
                // append the current li element's characterID to the list
                characterIDList += liElement.data( 'characterid' );
             }

 

function HandlerCharacters() {
        function isDupe(which) {
            var result = false;
            $('ul#characterlist li').each(function(i, e) {
                if ($(e).data('characterid') == which) {
                    result = true;
                    return false; // break out of .each()
                }
            });
            return result;
        }
        var characterid = $('#charactersdrop option:selected').val();
        var characterName = $('#charactersdrop option:selected').text();
        if (characterid > 0 && !isDupe(characterid)) {
        	// Create the anchor element
        	var anchor = $( '<a href="#">Remove</a>' );  
        	
        	// Create a click handler for the anchor element
        	anchor.click( function() {
        		$( this ).parent().remove();
        		return false;  // makes the href in the anchor tag ignored
        	} );
        	
        	// Create the <li> element with its text, and then append the anchor inside it.
        	var li = $( '<li>' + characterName + ' </li>' ).append( anchor );
        	li.data( 'characterid', characterid );
        	
        	// Append the new <li> element to the <ul> element
        	$( '#characterlist' ).append( li );
        }
    }
