set select element value resulting error

Question

I got this error after 2 lines of simple codes to set a SELECT value to a variable:

Use of attributes' specified attribute is deprecated. It always returns true

Code:

var strMe = $("#o_productCategory").val();
alert(strMe);

No error message occurs when I use o_productCategory.value; but somehow it doesn't works in different browsers.

`o_productCategory.value;` can only work in IE. But are you sure your error is here ? — Denys Séguret, Jan 02 '13 at 14:26

@Syon yes its works, but the warning on the debug screen is annoying. — akauts, Jan 02 '13 at 14:45

Try :

$('#o_productCategory :selected').text();

Note : Only works if value and text are same...
