title: Binding the value and text to object model from select dropdown
body: <p>I am trying to access both the value and the text that is within a select list so that I can store the values to display the users selection in another part of my application.</p>
  
  <p>I have the value binding to an object without any trouble, however I was wondering if it was possible to access the text attribute and bind that also to my object.</p>
  
  <p>I am dynamically building my answers for the dropdown from a json object from the database which renders the questions for the form (which can be 1 or many).</p>
  
  <p>My binding for the questions looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div data-bind="text: QuestionText" class="caf-question sub-unit-1-bottom"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
                  &lt;select class="inline" data-bind="value: SelectedComparisonOperator"&gt;
                      &lt;option value="0"&gt;Equal to&lt;/option&gt;
                      &lt;option value="1"&gt;Not equal to&lt;/option&gt;
                  &lt;/select&gt;
                  &lt;select data-bind="foreach: Answers, visible: Answers.length &gt; 0, value: SelectedAnswerOption" class="caf-answers"&gt;
                      &lt;option class="caf-answer" data-bind="text: AnswerText, value: AnswerId, css: {'caf-header': IsHeader == true}"&gt;&lt;/option&gt;
                  &lt;/select&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and when I am pushing those items to the knockout context I am populating the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>QuestionId: 2
  QuestionText: "Site"
  SelectedAnswerOption: 23
  SelectedAnswerOptionText: null
  SelectedComparisonOperator: "0"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the values are pushed into the object using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var clinicalAnswerItem = {
                          QuestionId: item.QuestionId,
                          QuestionText: item.QuestionText,
                          SelectedAnswerOption: item.SelectedAnswerOption,
                          SelectedAnswerOptionText: "Need to populate this somehow",
                          SelectedComparisonOperator: parseInt(item.SelectedComparisonOperator)
                      }
  
                      viewModel.clinicalAnswers.push(clinicalAnswerItem);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Ideally, I'd like to just take the text from the select option and push that into the knockout context. Is this possible?</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks</p>
