jquery How to get the currently-selected TEXT inside a selectbox, not the value? (value is easy.)

jquery How to get the currently-selected TEXT inside a selectbox, not the value? (value is easy.)

to get the text:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1643227/jquery-get-selected-text-from-dropdownlist

$('#yourdropdownid').children("option:selected").text();
which is an optimization of

$("#yourdropdownid option:selected").text();

for completeness, to get the value:


<script>
var submit_product_edit_form = function() {
    // create a form hidden input with the value of true.
    $('<input>').attr({
        type: 'hidden',
        name: 'hidden_lang_change',
        value: true,
    }).appendTo('#product_view_form');

    // submit POST with it.
    $("#product_view_form").submit();
};

$("#id_lang").change(function() { // If Bulk Action selectbox OnChange
    submit_product_edit_form();
});
</script>
