Been fighting with this for couple days now and reviewed many a web post without success. Can you view this site and see an actual (successful) correct way to retrieve and store the values from these first Select controls on this page?

I have to use "browser.driver.findElement" and I target the Select control with:
var tempstr = browser.driver.findElement(by.xpath('//select[@name="wu"]/option[1]'));
optionval = tempstr.getText();
console.log(optionval);
but no success: *script executes successfully but I can't get the list items of "pounds" and "kilograms" pulled out.
