[RK800]

could someone help me out with this??

i am creating a dropdown(dd2) dynamically inside a <div> , on the selected index event of another dropdown(dd1). somehow i am not able to handle or get the selectedindexch ange event of dd2. i get the values inside dd2, but does not respond to any event. i am using

the code is as below.

[code=asp]
Function getdatafromdb(B yVal s As String) As String

Try
dtChild = New DataTable
Select Case Trim(s).ToUpper
Case UCase("sivsetup id"), UCase("sub"), UCase("subclien t"), UCase("edm_id") , UCase("convrt_w ho"), UCase("audit_wh o"), UCase("siv_inje ct"), UCase("engine_b uilt"), UCase("audit")
'Session("tblna me") = "p"
qrystr2 = "select distinct " + Trim(s) + " from edi_parent order by " + Trim(s) + ""
Case UCase("carrname "), UCase("scac")
qrystr2 = "select distinct " + Trim(s) + " from carreuro order by " + Trim(s) + ""
'Session("tblna me") = "ca"
Case UCase("clientna me"), UCase("clientno ")
'Session("tblna me") = "cl"
qrystr2 = "select distinct " + Trim(s) + " from clientdt order by " + Trim(s) + ""
End Select

mycmd = New MySqlCommand(qr ystr2, myconn)
mycmd.CommandTi meout = 0
adap = New MySqlDataAdapte r(mycmd)
adap.Fill(dtChi ld)

Dim ddlfiltervalue As New DropDownList
ddlfiltervalue. ID = "ddlfiltervalue "
ddlfiltervalue. DataSource = dtChild
ddlfiltervalue. Items.Add("--SELECT--")
ddlfiltervalue. DataTextField = s
ddlfiltervalue. DataBind()
Me.Controls.Add (ddlfiltervalue )

Dim sw As New StringWriter
Dim htw As New HtmlTextWriter( sw)
ddlfiltervalue. RenderControl(h tw)
Return sw.ToString
Catch ex As Exception
Response.Write( "Error filling data in child Grid" + ex.Message)
Finally
myconn.Close()
End Try
End Function
[/code]

Hi rk800,


Please use code tags when you post. It makes it difficult for us to sift through code in order to help you when the code isn't formatted. Instructions for this are on the right when you post.

As per your problem, I think you're trying to perform a certain action when someone chooses an option from the first drop down, you'd like to do something to second drop down? Or do you just want to know generically how to handle changes with the selectedIndex of a drop down list?

If neither of these are the case please be more clear as to what you are trying to achieve.

To handle the selectedIndex changes of a drop down list, you need to use the OnChange event in javascript which fits into your <Select> tag.

EG
[code=html]
<select name="oWhatever " OnChange="SomeJ SFunction();">

</select>
[/code]

Sincerely,
Mark
