How Read a selected text from the drop down ? : I need to save the user selected text to the db.I tried 3 different ways but all of them return null for the selected
value.  value1 or value2 or value3 returns null. What I am doing to wrong here ?

       <div id="reasonsList" style="display: none">
        @foreach (var reason in Model.CorrectionReasonsList)
        {
            <option>@(reason)</option>
        }
    </div>
    var value = '<option selected="selected" value="' + sData + '">' + sData + '</option>';
            
    var reasonsSelect = '<select id="correction_reason_dropdown" ' +
             'multiple ' +
             'style="min-width:115px" ' +
             'data-select-options={"searchField":"false","noValueText":"Select One"))"} ' +
             'class="select multiple-as-single compact correction-reason" ' +
              '>';                
           
              reasonsSelect += value + $("#reasonsList").html();
               reasonsSelect += "</select>";
                $(nTd).html(reasonsSelect);


    var value1 = $('#reasonsList:selected').val();
    var value2 = $('#reasonsList:selected').find('option:selected').text();
    var value3 = $('#reasonsList:selected').text();
