Solution 3:
The answers posted here, for example,
$('#yourdropdownid option:selected').text();
click below button to copy the code. By JavaScript tutorial team
didn't work for me, but this did:
$('#yourdropdownid').find('option:selected').text();
click below button to copy the code. By JavaScript tutorial team
It is possibly an older version of jQuery.
Solution 4:
If we already have the dropdownlist available in a variable, this is what works for me:
$("option:selected", myVar).text()
click below button to copy the code. By JavaScript tutorial team
The other answers on this question helped me, but ultimately the jQuery forum thread $(this + "option:selected").attr("rel") option selected is not working in IE
Solution 5:
$("option:selected", $("#TipoRecorde")).text()
