Question

I have this select tag right here

<select id = "options" style = "width:150px;">      
    <option>Artist Name</option>
    <option>Track Name</option>
    <option>Date Uploaded</option>
</select>

I am getting the current selected innerHTML value using JQuery

   var option = $("#options").innerHTML;
   console.log(option);

But each time I print it only returns me a value of undefined.

You just need:

  $("#options").val();

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select id = "options" style = "width:150px;">      
    <option>Artist Name</option>
    <option>Track Name</option>
    <option>Date Uploaded</option>
</select>
