It is ok but without passing value we can also get selected text. var value = $("#yourdropdownid option:selected").text();

you can get the value of selected text by using this single line of code $("#select option:selected").text();

Just like any other value var value = $(”#select”).val(); $(”#select option[value=’” + value + ”’]”).text() <select id=”select”> <option value=”selected”>Value</option> </select> Make sure options have value attr
