[jQuery] Getting the text value of the selected item in select box

[jQuery] Getting the text value of the selected item in select box


I am struggling with getting the text label of the selected item in a
select box.
$('##Suburb').attr("value") will give me the id (e.g. 4) of the suburb
drop down, but how do I get the label which would be "London" for
example.
Thanks!
