How to access via jquery to select controls created dynamically
Question
I have created dynamically some select controls(aka groupbox) but every time that I try to access to one of them if get the followig error:
Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function
Here is the code:
var method =$("#slt" + (parseInt(buttonElementId + 1))).children("option").is("selected").text();
Where parseInt(buttonElementId + 1 is always a number so the error is not there

.is() returns a true/false value, it does not continue the jQuery chain, therefor there is no .text() function to call
As DevishOne points out in the comments to get the selected option's text do:
=$("#slt" + (parseInt(buttonElementId + 1))).children("option:selected").text();

Split that in to multiple steps and check for the particular result:
button = $("#slt" + (parseInt(buttonElementId + 1)));
if ( button )
{
childs = button.children("option");
if ( childs .....
Whenever there's no option selected, you are unable to catch that since you refer directly to a method .text() of null.
