- Get selected text from a drop-down list (select box) using jQuery 31 answers
I have a select box with some values. How do I get the selected options text, not the value?
<select name="options[2]" id="select_2">
<option value="">-- Please Select --</option>
<option value="6" price="0">100</option>
<option value="7" price="0">125</option>
<option value="8" price="0">150</option>
<option value="9" price="0">175</option>
<option value="10" price="0">200</option>
<option value="3" price="0">25</option>
<option value="4" price="0">50</option>
<option value="5" price="0">75</option>
</select>
I tried this:
$j(document).ready(function(){
$j("select#select_2").change(function(){
val = $j("select#select_2:selected").text();
alert(val);
});
});
But it's coming back with undefined
.
