title: jQuery alert text in option from select tag
body: <p>I have a select code with two option.  Is there a way I can use jQuery to alert me the text within the option tag of the option I have selected?  Currently I have option two selected so when I use the code below it comes back as "5".  I need it to come back as "Option 2".</p>
  
  <pre><code>alert (jQuery('#bw_status').val());
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The code below is the example code I am using.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;select id="bw_status"&gt;
  &lt;option value="7"&gt;Option 1&lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;option value="5"&gt;Option 2&lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;/select&gt;
  </code></pre>
