jQuery if else and selected value from select tag
<p>Why can't I get the value selected from my  input, am I doing something wrong?</p>

<pre><code> if($('#target option:selected').text() == "add")
                    $("#add").show(selectedEffect, options, 500, callback );
                 else if ($('#target option:selected').text() == "exit")
                    $("#exit").show(selectedEffect, options, 500, callback );
                 else if ($('#target option:selected').text() == "refuse")
                    $("#refuse").show(selectedEffect, options, 500, callback );
                 else
                    alert('test');
</code></pre>
