I would like to show a select-dropdown list in a jQuery Popup / Dialog. Could you please show me how to do this, and how to retrieve the selected value?

Example code below:

<div id='selectPopup'>
    <form name='test'>
        <select  id='inptPAN' name='inptPAN'>
            <option value='1'>item 1</option>
            <option value='2'>item 2</option>
            <option value='3'>item 3</option>
            <option value='4'>item 4</option>
            <option value='5'>item 5</option>
            <option value='6'>item 6</option>
        </select>
    </form>
</div>

Please see this jsFiddle for some code
