jQuery :selected is returning an array????

jQuery :selected is returning an array????

Hello,

I have a simple combobox :

   <select id="selwebsiteid">
      <option value="0">Select a profile</option>
<option value="1">Test 1</option>
<option value="0">Test 2</option>
    </select>


and when i do jQuery('#selwebsiteid :selected').text() to get the selected text and it comes back with

"Select a profile" appended at the begining of any option i select. Any ideas?
