In HTML (.aspx)

<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownSubject" runat="server" DataTextField="Word" AutoPostBack="True" 
         OnSelectedIndexChanged="SelectedChange" onchange="YourChangeFun(this);">
</asp:DropDownList>

In javascript

<script type="text/javascript">
      function YourChangeFun(ddl)
      {
         alert(ddl.selectedIndex);
      }
</script>
