<script type="text/javascript">

function Validate() {

var ddl = document.getElementById('<%=DropDownList1.ClientID%>');

var option = ddl.options[ddl.selectedIndex];

alert(option.value);

if (option.value == 0) {

alert('select value from dropdown');

return false;

}

else {

return true;

}

</script>

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClientClick="return Validate();" />

Simply use this code-

<script type="text/javascript">
      function show() {
        var drp = document.getElementById('<%=DropDownList1.ClientID%>');
        alert(drp.value);
        return false;
      }
</script>

<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server">
        <asp:ListItem>a</asp:ListItem>
        <asp:ListItem>b</asp:ListItem>
        <asp:ListItem>c</asp:ListItem>
      </asp:DropDownList>

<asp:Button ID="Button7" runat="server" Text="test" OnClientClick="return show();" />

Try this and let me know.
