To get value:

$('#YourdropDownId').val();

To get text:

$('#YourdropDownId :selected').text();

Have seen similar answers but $('#YourdropDownId').val() never worked for me with jQuery 1.10.2

Instead I have to use $("select[id*=ddlurgency]").val() for:

<select name="urgency" id="ddlurgency" class="form-control" runat="server"> <option value="970200000">Not very urgent</option> <option value="970200001">Urgent</option> <option value="970200002">Very urgent</option> </select>
