jQuery Chosen - get (multiple) selected labels (not the value)

Question

How to get the selected option's text from the Chosen select? So not just the .val() but the option label/text

Answer 1

The only way that work for me, was doing something like this:

var options = $("#ddl option:selected");

var values = $.map(options, function (option) {
    return option.text;
});

Where values is an array.

Hope that it helps...

Answer 2

//Below code return name of the drop downn

$('#availableRevisionBatch option:selected').text() 

//Below code return value of the drop downn

$('#availableRevisionBatch option:selected').val() 

Answer 3

You can simply use this to get the label.

$('.result-selected').html() 

or

$('.options option:selected').html() 

Answer 4

Used: $("#list option[value='"+id+"']").text(); To retrieve the label of the selected value

Answer 5

$("#objId option :selected").text();

Above jQuery statement should do it for.
