jquery select option text by value code example

Example 1: get text of selected option jquery

$('#id').children(':selected').text();

Example 2: jquery selected option text

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

Example 3: get selected option text jquery

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.
