This is quite tricky. I could not figure out how to get the text
(probably I should go home:) ).
If there is no other solution here is a dirty trick:
var tmp = $('#testText select');
//remove the select box
$('#testText select').remove();
// get the text within the div
var txt = $('#testText').text();
// put back the selectbox
$('#testText').append(tmp);
