How can we use $(this) and option selected

Question

$('#selectList :selected').text() is known syntax

i have to fetch the value for the same from $(this) instead of $('#selected')

something like this

$(this :selected').text() ?

Answer 1

$() can take two arguments:

$(selector, context)

so it may be possible to use

$(':selected', this).text();

Answer 2

You can use either

$(':selected', this).text();

or

$(this).find(':selected').text();

Answer 3

Or you can also do something like this:

$(this).find(":selected").text();
