How to get the text of the selected option of a select using jquery?
I have a dropdown list and I want to know the text of the selected item. For example:
<select>
<option value="1">Volvo</option>
<option value="2">Saab</option>
<option value="3">Mercedes</option>
</select>
If I know the selected value, how can I get it's text value? For instance, if the value is 1
how can I get Volvo
?
Help much appreciated.
