Hi,

You can simply use-
```
var value = $("#ddlTest").val();
or
```
```
var value = $("select[id$=ddlTest]").val(); // if you have master page or the control is inside usercontrol
or
```
```
var value = $("select[id*=ddlTest]").val(); // if the control is inside gridview/ repeater kind of control
```
Thanks & Regards

Make sure you have Value attribute set in dropdownlist and modify the code as below

$("select[id*=ddlTest] :selected").val();
