How to get previous selection of dropdown value when I click button?

How to get previous selection of dropdown value when I click button. I refer below coding 

    $(".addToButton").live('click', function (e) {
          var sel = $(this).prevAll(".addToList:first"),
          val = sel.val(),
          text = sel.find(':selected').text();    
    });

But it is not working. How should I get previous selection of dropdown value when I click button?

Try Following code: 

    (function () {
            var prevVal;

            $("select").focus(function () {
                // For storing current value on focus and on change
                prevVal = this.value;
            }).change(function() {



                // Get new value in previous varible storage
                prevVal= this.value;
            });
          $("btnGet").click(function(){
 alert("This is previous value: "+prevVal);
});

        })();

Hope its helpful.

You cannot ask a control for a previous property value. If you need to remember it, you need to store it in a variable somewhere explicitly.

What you can do, is create a stack and then push the new value of the dropdownbox every time it changes.
