option

Hi there.

I'm trying to find a simple Selenium call to grab the current option from a select drop-down list. I'm aware there are calls which grab all the values in a list but I wish to know which option is currently selected. Apologies if this is trivial but google and Selenium IDE didn't help me. Thanks.
