When I set the selected item in the drop down I do this.....
this
.ddlMeasurementType.SelectedItemIndex = 2;
Without click on the control and I ran the following java I do not get index 2 as selected...
This basically gets ran when the text in a textbox is changed. The function is called ok but item.isSelected comes back as false for itemIndex 2 in the drop down. Is there something I am missing when setting selected item? When I look at the drop down items in the server code it does have that item as selected = true; So I am don't know what I am missing on the client side. It looks like I might have to activate the item. Does anyone know how to do that? I tried .ActiveItemIndex and that does not help. When I go into .Iem.Activated it is still false. When the .isSelected works in the javascript .Activate = true. I don't know I how to make this work.
var ddl2 = $find('<%= ddlMeasurementType.ClientID %>');
var items = ddl2.get_items();
var length = items.getLength();
var item;
for (var i = 0; i < length; i++) {
item = items.getItem(i);
if (item.isSelected()) {
SetCalculationLabels(item._element.innerText);
break;
}
Hi apalcer,
From javascript you can select an item in the WebDropDown using the selectItem() or selectItemByIndex() functions.
I am attaching a sample which changes the selected item in a drop down based on which of the buttons on the page is clicked.
Below is the javascript code used:
<script type="text/javascript"> function Button1Handler() { $find('WebDropDown1').selectItemByIndex(0); return false; } function Button2Handler() { $find('WebDropDown1').selectItemByIndex(1); return false; } </script>
Please tell me if this helps.
