Jquery array.push() not working

I have been trying to add variables from a dropdown into an array using Jquery array.push() function but for some odd reason it is not working. Following is the jsFiddle link:
http://jsfiddle.net/dKWnb/3/

JavaScript :

$(#test).live(click,function() {

       var myarray = new Array();

        myarray.push($(#drop).val());

        alert(myarray);

});

HTML

<Select name=drop id=drop>

    <option value=1>1</option>

    <option value=2>2</option>

</select>

<input type=button name=test id=test value=test>

~~Your HTML should include quotes for attributes : http://jsfiddle.net/dKWnb/4/~~

Not required when using a HTML5 doctype - thanks @bazmegakapa

You create the array each time and add a value to it ... its working as expected ?

Moving the array outside of the live() function works fine :

var myarray = []; // more efficient than new Array()

$(#test).live(click,function() {

        myarray.push($(#drop).val());

        alert(myarray);

});

Also note that in later versions of jQuery v1.7 -> the live() method is deprecated and replaced by the on() method.
