You need to have a space in between:

$('#adropdownDetails :selected').text()

---

$('#adropdownDetails:selected').text() This might not be the value you are looking for. This is a whitespace or a new line character. you can check the snippet below:

 var selval = $('select:selected').text(); $('pre').html('<p>'+selval+'</p>'); 

 p{border:solid 1px grey; padding:2px;} 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <select><option>select...</option></select> <pre></pre>
