Getting value from select list

[RobertJay]

I seem unable to retrieve the value of the selected option of a select list called "char1". I tried the following, for example, and got no value back. Thanks.

var t1 = $('#char1').val();
alert(t1);

Thank you Alena - that works perfectly. I did not find that post earlier since I was searching for select list (rather than select component).
