jQuery select value failing

[Dawidurus]

I have done some research on this and everything said / suggested so far has failed to work.I am trying to capture the input from a select tag, however nothing comes through, not even \[code\]null\[/code\].The code:\[code\] function validateForm() { var name = $('#txtName').val(); var email = $('#txtEmail').val(); var tel = $('#txtTel').val(); var look = $('#lookingFor').val(); var goals = $('#goals').val(); alert(name + " " + email + " " + tel + " " + look + " " + goals); return false; }\[/code\]HTML:\[code\]<select class="fomForm select" style="color:#777;" id="lookingFor" name="lookingFor"><option value="">I'm looking for</option><option value="">CYCLING</option><option value="">RUNNING</option><option value="">TRIATHLONS</option><option value="">TRAINING CAMPS</option><option value="">PERFORMANCE TESTING</option><option value="">DIET & NUTRITION</option><option value="">WELLNESS</option></select>\[/code\]I apologise for asking this as there are quite a few resources on the internet however they don't seem to help this case. The name, email etc all display fine in the alert but the select boxes do not.I have no errors in the console.
