Obtenha texto da opção selecionada jQuery
$('#id').children(':selected').text();
Spyder
$('#id').children(':selected').text();
$('#id option:selected').text()
$("#city_id option:selected").text();
$("#mySelect option:selected").html();
$(".qualificationStatus option:selected").text()
I think this should be $("#yourdropdownid").children("option").filter(":selected").text() since is() returns a boolean of whether the object matches the selector or not.
