How to get the selected item of DropDownListFor?

Question

How to get the selected item of DropDownListFor? This is my dropdownlistfor :

    <div class="drop-down-list">
        <%: Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.StageId, ViewBag.StagesList as SelectList,new { id="stageOne"})%>
        <%: Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.StageId) %>
    </div>

I tried this but it is not working :

<script>
    var e = $('#stageOne').val();
</script>

`$("#StageId option:selected").text();` – Karthik Chintala Feb 28 '13 at 11:08 — Karthik Chintala, Feb 28 '13 at 11:08
