$("#Id option:selected").text()

BY LOVE
$("#Id option:selected").text()
$('#id').children(':selected').text();
$('#id option:selected').text()
$( "#myselect option:selected" ).text();
$("#id 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.
