jQuery, how do I get the position of a select?
<p>I'm trying to get the value of whatever date (1-12) gets chosen in a select statement.</p>

<p>the select:</p>

<pre><code>    &lt;select id="month"&gt;&lt;/select&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>gets populated with this:</p>

<pre><code>    $(function(){
        $.ajax({
            type: "GET",
            url: "lib/getmonth.php",
            async: "false",
            success: function(response){
                var monthArry = response.split(",");
                for(var x=0; x &lt; [monthArry.length-1]; x++){
                    $("#month").append("&lt;option&gt;" + monthArry[x] + "&lt;/option&gt;");
                }
            }
        });
    });
</code></pre>

<p>I'm at a loss here, I can obviously get the name,</p>

<pre><code>    var month = $("#month").val();
</code></pre>

<p>but I'm not sure how to pick up on the which 'option' is selected?</p>
