This works, but since the selected option is the actual value of the
<select>, I would do something like this:

var x;
$('select[name=textselector]').change(function(){
    x = $(this).val();
});

while keeping the names (if that is really what you want):

var x;
$('select[name=textselector]').change(function(){
    x = $(this).children('option:selected').attr('name');
});
