javascript - How to get $(this) selected option in jQuery?

Question

The following code works:

$("#select-id").change(function(){
  var cur_value = $('#select-id option:selected').text();
  . . .
});

How to refactor the second line to:

var cur_value = $(this).***option-selected***.text();

What do you use for ***option-selected***?

Answer 1

For the selected value: $(this).val()

If you need the selected option element, $("option:selected", this)
