The following Snippet Code only alerts "Status = ". The code does not retrieve the value/text. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

function getStatus() {
  var statusVal = $("select[title='Status'] option:selected").text();
  alert("Status = ",statusVal);
}

$(document).ready(function() {
  getStatus();
}); 

</script>

That isn't how alert works. It should be:

alert("Status = "+statusVal);

If you run $("select[title='Status'] option:selected").text() in the console of your browser is it returning the right value?
