Answer 1

try this:

$('#yourSelectId').change(function() {
    var selectedVal = $('#yourSelectId option:selected').attr('value');
});

you will get the value inside selectedVal

Answer 2

Think would be better to use .val()

$('#yourSelectId').change(function() {
    var selectedVal = $('#yourSelectId').val();
});
