This is all that's needed:

$('#mySelect').val()

If you wanted the text value of the selected option rather than it's
value attribute, you could do:

$('#mySelect :selected').text()

Subject: [jQuery] Getting Selectbox selected value. Works in IE not FF.

Guys,

I'm tesing some code out to return the selected value of a dropdown. I
found a snippet that was posted in a prior message but it seems to only
work in IE and not in FF. FF returns null for the value. The code
snippet is:

$('#mySelect [EMAIL PROTECTED]').val();

You can see it here:

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Rey...
