title: how to get selected value of Disabled dropdown in c#
body: <p>In my form there are two DropDownList controls.</p>
  
  <p>1st is enabled and 2nd is disabled.</p>
  
  <p>After selecting 1st dropdown I am changing selected value of 2nd dropdown using javascript.</p>
  
  <p>Its working fine. But when I am trying to get selected value of 2nd dropdown, it will return value of first element (i.e. 'select').</p>
  
  <p>Please refer my code</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;asp:DropDownList ID="ddlStartTime1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="false" 
   Width="70" Enabled="false"&gt;&lt;/asp:DropDownList&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>NOTE:</strong> I am using javascript to change selected value of 2nd(disabled) dropdown.</p>
  
  <p>Javascript code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(document).ready(function() {
      $('#&lt;%= ddlStartTime1.ClientID %&gt;').change(function() {
          $('#&lt;%= ddlEndTime1.ClientID %&gt;').val($('#&lt;%= ddlStartTime1.ClientID%&gt;').val());
      })
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any alternate way to get changed value of disabled DropDownList?</p>
