Answer 1

This will work.

select = document.getElementById("select");
select.onchange = function(){
    alert(this.value); //returns the selected value
    alert(this.innerHTML); //returns the entire select with all the options
    var options = this.getElementsByTagName("option");
    var optionHTML = options[this.selectedIndex].innerHTML;  
    alert(optionHTML); //this is what I want, but it works now
};
