REad dataset of a drop down list

hi

i have a drop down list filled from server side as below:
(where SelectStatusCbo is the drop down and lStatusDS is the dataset)
With SelectStatusCbo
.DataSource = lStatusDS.Tables(0)
.DataTextField = "Status_DescE" '"P_cle_stat"
.DataValueField = "internalCode" '"p_stat_int"
.DataBind()
End With
the dataset contains teh below column :
Process1, Status_DescE and internalCode
nowin javascript i need to do the below:
$("#" + SelectStatusCbo.id).on("change", function () {
//need to read the dataset and appropriate column of teh datase how to dow it?
}
well i need to read the dataset of the drop down in javascript goto the selected index and read each column value how to do it?

what about replacing :
.DataValueField = "internalCode"
by :
.DataValueField = "internalCode" + "|" + Process1

and use :

$("#" + SelectStatusCbo.id).on("change", function () {
 var arrPipe = $(this).val().split("|");
 var internalCode = arrPipe[0];
 var Process1 = arrPipe[1];
 var Status_DescE = $("option:selected", this).text();
});

no this solution does not work for me because this user control is used in many other web forms so i cannot change the value field and split the result
i want a way where i need to read the dataset of this drop down from javascript without changing the datavaluefield

It is not clear which part you need assistance with

 $("#" + SelectStatusCbo.id).on("change", function () {
//need to read the dataset and appropriate column of teh datase how to dow it?
}

Are you asking how to go back to the server at this point or do you already have the data locally?

What is going to happen in the change handler - what is it the code is meant to do?
