How do I get selected value from a bootstrap select drop down

Question

I\'m trying to get the selected text, not value, from my bootstrap drop down, but my .text() statement is returning a string that contains all the values with a \'\\n\' in b

Answer 1

You can get the selected value's text with $(this).find("option:selected").text().

$('#SpaceAccommodation').change(function () {
    var selectedText = $(this).find("option:selected").text();
    
    $(".test").text(selectedText);
});
