I have got a simple select menu containing all countries with their city's listed in respective option value.
The value also contains some other data, for instance Canada has value +1|}|22|X while United States has this +1|}|128|X||{|58$Abilene#|{|59$Akron#|{|1$Alabama#|{|2$Alaska#|{|60$Albany#|....

I need to fill another select menu on change of country select menu.
I can't figure out how can i parse each city listed in the country's value.

Maybe try this, idk, that data was kind of weird:

$('#country_residence').on('change', function () {

    var cities = $(this).val().split('$');

    $(#cities option).remove();

    for(var i = 1;i<cities.length;i++)

    {

     var city = String(cities[i]);

        if(city.indexOf(#)>-1)

            city = city.substring(0,city.indexOf(#));





        $(#cities).append(<option> + city + </option>);

    }

});
