        $(function() {
            /*start point value*/
            $("#pick").combobox({
                change: function() {
                    alert("changed");
                }
            });
            $("#toggle").click(function() {
                $("#pick").toggle();

            $("#pick").change(function() {
                var start = this.value;

            /*end point value*/
            $("#drop").combobox({

                var end = this.value;
            });
        });

My HTML Code:

<div class="ui-widget">
        <select id="pick">
            <option value="">Select one...</option>
            <option value="1">1</option>
            <option value="2">2</option>
            <option value="3">3</option>
            <option value="4">4</option>
        </select>

        <select id="drop">
            <option value="">Select one...</option>
            <option value="11">11</option>
            <option value="12">12</option>
            <option value="13">13</option>
            <option value="14">14</option>
        </select>
    </div>

Answer 1

Try like this

 $("#drop").change(function () {
        var end = this.value;
        var firstDropVal = $('#pick').val();
    });

Answer 2

$('#drop').change(
    function() {
        var val1 = $('#pick option:selected').val();
        var val2 = $('#drop option:selected').val();

        // Do something with val1 and val2 ...
    }
);

Answer 3

If you have simple dropdown like:

<select name="status" id="status">
    <option value="1">Active</option>
    <option value="0">Inactive</option>
</select>

Then you can use this code for getting value:

$(function(){

 $("#status").change(function(){
     var status = this.value;
     alert(status);
   if(status=="1")
     $("#icon_class, #background_class").hide();// hide multiple sections
  });

});
