How do you getText of a select form field?

[profunctional]

There is a getValue, but no getText. Please advise how I could retrieve the text of the selected value. Thanks.

It's just a normal old select box:



var el = Ext.getCmp('select').fieldEl,
val;
el.select('option').each(function(opt){
opt = opt.dom;
if(opt.selected){
val = opt.text;
return false;
}
});

Thanks Evan, That worked perfectly.
