To get the selected value from a dropdown with ID is easy: $(#ComboBox option:selected).text()

To get the selected value from a dropdown with ID is easy:

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

However I can’t use ID and need to get it by title/a select element, how do I do that? I tried something like: var item_level = $('select:contains("Item Level")').text()

but wasn’t very successfull.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

    with your comment you can select the selected option only in

    $("select[title=Item Level] option:selected").text();
