Why does the text "Go" not display on my button?

I can't seem to figure out why the "Go" text isn't displaying on my button. Seems to be exactly the same code as the video but it's not working for me.

//Create a select and append to menu
var $select = $("<select></select>");
$("#menu").append($select);

//Cycle over menu links
$("#menu a").each(function(){
  var $anchor = $(this);

  //Create an option
  var $option = $("<option></option>");

  //option's value is the href
  $option.val($anchor.attr("href"));

  //option's text is the text of link
  $option.text($anchor.text());

  //append option to select
  $select.append($option);
});

//Create button
var $button = $("<button>Go</button");
$("#menu").append($button);
//Bind click to button
$button.click(function(){
  //Go to select's location
  window.location = $select.val();
});

You seem to have forgotten the closing tag of the button. 

//Create button
var $button = $("<button>Go</button>");
