Hi,

Thanks for your reply. While working on this, I got another problem. Actually, I am loadiing the items into a webdropdown using

the below code:

webdropdown1.loadItems(webdropdown2_value,false);

alert("value:" + webdropdown1.get_items().getItem(0).get_value());

Problem is when I have loaded the new items above into the webdropdown1, the alert value statement is still showing me the index 0 element which was there in the dropdown1 before loading the new items. Is there a problem that changes are not getting reflected in the client-side. The dropdown clearly shows the correct items have been loaded when I open the dropdown and look at the items. Do i need to change some property values of the webdropdown. Because, once I am able to retrieve the correct item after loading, then I can use your code to select that item.

Hi,

In that case, I am looking for a solution where I should be able to load the webdropdown on client-side rather than using loadItems to go to server-side.

Hi,

May I know how I can handle the AJAX response on the client-side which comes back after "ItemsRequested" event on the server-side has been executed.

Hi,

I tried using "AJAX Response" client-side event of webdropdown but still I have issues. Once a webdropdown is loaded with new items on ItemsRequested event and just after when a AJAX response is handled on client-side, I am able to see that still the webdropdown is showing old items on client-side. I am not able to understand what is exactly happening here. On AJAX response, the dropdown should have new loaded items on the client-side. Please look for a solution to this problem as this is pending from so many days.

Hello Sunil,

This is a sample implementing the last reported from you scenario. The first time ajaxRequest is not showing the current value, but all the next times it is displaying it. I am starting to log this behavior as a development issue.

Hi Nikifor,

Thanks for your response. It may not be possible for us to wait till the development issue resolved. Please provide me some alternative solution for my problem.

Hi Nikifor,

I don't have any other browser apart from IE. I am able to reproduce the behaviour with your sample. Please find your updated sample.

I have increased the number of items in webdropdown2 to 3 by adding "Z" value as well when "2" is selected in webdropdown1.

Also, I have added the below two lines in the AJAXResponse javascript function:

            var ddLength = ig_controls.WebDropDown2.get_items().getLength();
            alert("Number of items in webdropdown2:" + ddLength);

to check the number of items in webdropdown2 after AJAX Response comes. It shows the old values and not the count of newly loaded items.

I want to do some processing on the new items after getting the new items in the AJAX Response. but since this is not working, I am stuck here.

Is this behavior reproducible with the sample i have attached? Because i have tested this sample with FF 14, Opera 12, IE 9 and Chrome and none of the browsers shows this behavior. All the browsers show the new loaded values with the sample

Hi Nikifor,

I was asking for a solution to the AJAX response problem. Whatever solution you have given will not work till the AJAX response fix is done.

Problem Description: When ItemsRequested event is called and control goes to server-side to load a webdropdown with new values and after that, when a AJAX response comes to client-side, it still shows the old items in the response. When ItemsRequested event is called again, then the AJAX response shows the previous response and that's how it is working.

Ideal behaviour: When AJAX response is handled at client-side, it should show the newly loaded items so that validations can be done on the client-side for the new items.

Please provide some temporary solution to this problem if you don't have a permanent solution now. And when we can expect a permanent solution.

Hello Sunil,

Please use this temporary workaround:

function mySelector() {

var dd = ig_controls.WebDropDown2;

if (dd.get_selectedItemIndex() > -1) {

                dd.get_selectedItem().unselect();

            }

            dd.get_items().getItem(0).select();

var vtd = dd.get_items().getItem(0).get_text()

            dd.set_currentValue(vtd,

true);

            dd._elements[

"Input"].value = vtd;

        }

Hi Nikifor,

Just checking to know how much time it will take to solve the issue? If it is going to take weeks, then please suggest some alternate solution/workaround for this issue.
