How do I retrieve the currently selected option string in a select box instead of the value? <select id="choices"> <option value="value">String</option> </select>
Using
$("#choices").val();
returns the value if it's set. if there is no value set, jQuery
returns the string instead. I want to retrieve the string while a
value is set!
Thanks for you time, I'm sure this something that I simply overlooked.
