<select id="ddlViewBy">
<option value="1">test1</option>

<option value="3">test3</option>
</select>
Running this code:
var e = document.getElementById("ddlViewBy");
var strUser = e.value;

var e = document.getElementById("ddlViewBy");
var strUser = e.options[e.selectedIndex].text;select text with javascript
