Answer 1

You can assign the onchange client-side event to a DropDownList control programmatically:

DropDownListID.Attributes["onchange"] = "javaScriptFunction();";

Are you talking about ASP app? This app produces HTML code so you have all HTML events available, which for the select tag (select is a HTML tag for dropdown lists) are the following:

• onchange
• onclick
• ondblclick
• onmousedown
• onmouseup
• onmouseover
• onmousemove
• onmouseout
• onkeypress
• onkeydown
• onkeyup
