Get the value of select jquery

<select id="my-select">
<option value="1">This is one</option>
<option value="2" selected>This is two</option>
...
</select>

Is there a way to get the text value of the selected option?

$('#my-select').val();

gives me 2, i want to get This is Two instead.

How?

What you want is

  1. Get the selector for finding the selected option in the select box

  2. Use .text() on the selector.

    $('#my-select option:selected').text();
