Hello Tina,

You can access the dropdownlist in ItemCreated and pass the ClientID to access it from client side. Here is the sample code.
C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
 if ((e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode))
 {
    GridEditFormItem editFormItem = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;
    DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)editFormItem.FindControl("editDropDown");
    RadGrid1.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<script type='text/javascript'>window['ddlvalue'] = '" + ddl.ClientID + "';</script>"));
 }
}

JS:

function ddlvalue()
{
 var ddl = document.getElementById(window['ddlvalue']);
 if (!ddl)
 {
   alert("no item is edited");
   return false;
 }
  else
 {
  alert("value is: " + ddl.value);
 }
}

Thanks,
Princy.
