How to get the selected value from breadcrumbs

Question

I am not able to get the selected value from breadcrumbs.

The breadcrumbs is this way:

<ul class="breadcrumbs">
    <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Products</a></li>
    <li class="active">Accessories</li>
</ul>

I tried to do this:

$("#breadcrumbs li:selected").text()

but it doesn't work. Somebody can help me?

$(".breadcrumbs > li.active").text() but carefull if you have more than one .breadcrumb in DOM — tmg, Apr 18 '16 at 11:26
