Get the value of a dropdown in jQuery

$('#Crd').val() will give you the selected value of the drop down element. Use this to get the selected options text.

$('#Crd option:selected').text();

The best way is to use:

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

Depending on the requirement, you could also use this way:

var v = $("#yourid").val();
$("#yourid option[value="+v+"]").text()
