I'm new to Jquery,

I had found lot of ways for getting the selected text from dropdown.

This is the one among those.

$("option:selected", $("#TipoRecorde")).text();

There, what we call the 1st parameter(option:selected) ?

Is it a selector ?

Hi,
The ":selected" selector selects option elements that are pre-selected in a drop-down list.Please check below links for more details -

Try:
```
jQuery("#availability option:selected").val();
```
Or to get the text of the option, use text():
```
jQuery("#availability option:selected").text();
```

Try with below code:
// To get Text
$("#TipoRecorde option:selected").text();

// To get value
$("#TipoRecorde option:selected").val();
Note: TipoRecorde is ID of dropdown.
