It's unclear what you want to do.
Do you want the value of the first "selected" option?
And by adding "first", does that mean your drop-down is a multi-select
dropdown (allows for selecting more than one option)?
Please clarify.
If for selected values, you can use:
$("#selectBoxID").val();
(If it's a multi-select dropdown, all the selected values will be in
the form of an array.)
