title: Get current value selected in dropdown using jQuery
body: <p>I have a set of dynamically generated dropdown boxes on my page. basically I clone them using jQuery. now I want to capture the value selected on each dropdown on change event.</p>
  
  <p>I tried something like this which did not work.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('._someDropDown').live('change', function(e) {
              //debugger;
              var v = $(this);
              alert($(this + ':selected').val());
              alert($(this).val());
          });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I get it done?</p>
