I have a form

<select name="city" id="city"> <option value=0>Санкт-Питербург</option> <option value=1>Москва</option> </select>

To get a value using jQuery, you need to do this $ ('# city'). Val (); It's not a problem. And how can I get the very words of St. Petersburg, or Moscow, instead of the numbers 0 or 1?

Immediately say that you can not change anything in the form, and handle the type

  if(this.value==0){alert('Спб');} else if(this.value==1){alert('Мск')}

too, because there can be more than 20 elements in the form, you cannot process everything, you need to directly get this label. Tell me how?

    Well, since you're talking about jquery then:

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