How to get Selected Text from select2 when using &

Question

I am using the select2 control, loading data via ajax. This requires the use of the <input type=hidden..> tag.

Now, I want to retrieve the selected text. (The value property in the data-bind expression sotres the id only)

I have tried $(".select2-chosen").text(), but this breaks when I have multiple select2 controls on the page.

Also you can have the selected value using following code:

alert("Selected option value is: "+$('#SelectelementId').select2("val"));
