Try selecting different options and clicking debug:
$(function() {
$("#debug").click(function() {
var selected = $("#state [EMAIL PROTECTED]");
alert(selected.text() + " : " + selected.val());
});
});
<select name="state" id="state">
<option value="NY">New York</option>
<option value="AL">Alaska</option>
</select>
<button id="debug">Debug</button>
