onclick event in select html not working in safari

Question

i have a asp.net dropdownlist control with onclick and onchange event javascript. both works in IE,mozilla, Opera and google chrome but not in safari.. when i remove onclick, onchange suddenly works. The reason i use onclick is to get the value of the dropdownlist before it change. Is there a way i can do that without using onclick? i mean, get the value of the dropdownlist before it change when you select a new value? i want to do it in javascript only..

Many Thanks,
