title: Ajax returns undefined on a Select
body: <p>I have this which posts data to an express/node app and then writes to MongoDB
  All works well except the select customer: $('#custs').val(), which is showing undefined.
  This should be simple, No exceptions are throwing either on the client or server side...
  How do I get the value of the select?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks In Advance!     </p>
