Question

I need to get the selected values for filtering a table.
My selection code is as follows
<select id="myGroupFilter">
<optgroup label="Group0">
<option value="1">Value 1</option>
<option value="2">Value 2</option>
<option value="3">Value 3</option>
<option value="4">Value 4</option>
</optgroup>
<optgroup label="Group1">
<option value="5">Value 5</option>
<option value="6">Value 6</option>
<option value="7">Value 7</option>
<option value="8">Value 8</option>
</optgroup>
</select>


I tried this
alert($("#myGroupFilter option:selected").text());

But I am not getting any value. Please guide me.

Thank you
