jquery: passing value from option select element

hi everyone,

can't get my mind to understand that. this is what i do:

I read data from my database and echo it. one value is a status of a
dataset. I write this status in an option value:

<select class="reported_'.$reportedUser['Report']['id'].'" size="1"
style="width: 98%;margin-top: 5px;">
<option value="">'.$reportedUser['Report']['status'].'</option>
<option value="pending">pending</option>
<option value="locked">locked</option>
<option value="closed">closed</option>
</select>

</div>';

echo '<div id="reported_'.$reportedUser['Report']['id'].'"
onclick="saveStatus('.$reportedUser['Report']['id'].')" </div>';

now what i wanna do: when the admin changes the value from "new" to
"locked" and presses the div, the new value is passed (together with
the "id") to a jquery function:

function saveStatus(id)
{
var reportedDiv = '#reported_';
var optionValue = $(reportedDiv + id).text();

if(id != '')
{

alert(optionValue);
alert(id);
};

}

I successfully pass the id to the function. the acutal value of the
option field not so much!!!

I appreciate the help :)
