You can't just "get" it, it doesn't exist in that context. You need to pass the value to the web webmethod using an ajax call from the browser. — Ben Robinson, Dec 16 '14 at 12:32

Here is an example of ajax

$.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            url: "Pagename.aspx/webmethodname",
            data: JSON.stringify({ dropdownvalue: $('select[id$=divlocation]').val()}),
            dataType: "json",
            async: false,
            success: function (data) {
                alert("success");

            },
            error: function (err) {
                alert(err.responseText);
            }

        });

And in webmethod you will receive this value like this

[WebMethod]
    public static void InsertData(string dropdownvalue)
    {


    }
