Get dropdown value selected using Jquery
<p>I have a drop-down which is auto-built by jQuery. It's running fine.</p>

<p>When the user selects a value from the drop-down I would like to know what the value is.
Currently I'm using:</p>

<pre><code>var employee= $('#emplist').find('option:selected').text();
</code></pre>

<p>but this seems to always return null.</p>

<p>Can someone tell me how to get the drop-down selected text to a variable.</p>

<p>My jQuery version is 1.4.1.</p>
