JQuery Select Button

To get the current value is very simple using val().

JavaScript: $(‘#selectList’).val();

But sometimes you may need to get the selected option’s text. This is not as straight forward. First, we get the selected option with :selected selector. Then once we have the option, we can get the text with the function, text().

JavaScript: $(‘#selectList :selected’).text();
