Question

I have a sample code:

<select name="code_id" id="code_id">
   <option value="1">Code 1</option>
   <option value="2">Code 2</option>
</select>

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
     var code_id = this.code_id.value; // Get value
     var code_name = this...// Get code name
     alert(code_name); 
});
</script>

How to get code name (Code 1, Code 2)

If its the selected option’s text you want then :

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