使用“this”关键字获取<select>文本

Question

I am using following code:

<select class="element select medium" id="inDistrict"
        name="inDistrict" onchange="setCookie('lastvalue',this.value,1);">

It is not taking: this.value. What else to use to get the DropDown selected text?

Answer 1

this.options[this.selectedIndex].value

Answer 2

var i = this.selectedIndex;
var selectedText = this.options[i].text;

Should do it (if this is the correct context).
