How to Get Dropdown's Selected Item's text in Kendo UI?

Question

I am using Kendo UI Controls. I want to get the selected text of the dropdown list in jquery. I have used this syntax :

 $(\"#ddl\").data(\"kendoDropDownList\")

I agree with d.popov, your question does seem to be the answer. placing your statement in an alert function pops up the selected text:

Alert($("#ddl").data("kendoDropDownList").text());

Tested in IE11. The actual IE version related to the problem was never mentioned...
