get values of Dropdown(Select) XML view

Hi ,

   I am using Select to display a dropdown in XMLview. Below is my code.   handleSelectChange  is event that triggers.

1. How to capture the value of the selected dropdown here.

2. How to capture the value of the selected value on Action of a different button rather than handleSelectChange.

3. Right now  the first value is shown as default. I don't want to default any value in the dropdown. how to acheive this.

         <Select

           id = "temp"

          autoAdjustWidth="true"

         change = 'handleSelectChange'

          items="{ path: '/vinyl' }"

          > 

          <core:Item key="{id}" text="{id}" />

        </Select>

Appreciate your help.

Thanks,
