Answer 1

If you have simple dropdown like:

    Active
    Inactive

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
  });

});
