innerHTML works for me in Moz/Firebird 0.7(Win), at least ...
<script type="text/javascript">
function checkthis(thing)
{
alert(thing.options[thing.selectedIndex].innerHTML);
}
</script>
<select name="trial" onchange="checkthis(this);">
<option value="1">one</option>
<option value="2">two</option>
<option value="3">three</option>
</select>
FWIW!
