has nothing to do with the .text method, as he is saying his selector
isn't working (hence the "null" message)... besides that is perfectly
valid JavaScript to get the text value from an <option>
jjsanders:
What happens if before this line
$(function(){
you put
alert($);
because the fact you get "null" on $("#ppsub_ppterm_id") and not have
jQuery go about it's business silently (which it should), means you
don't have jQuery referenced properly or it's conflicting with
something else used on the page
