Hi and thanks for your help,
I am trying to set the value of a dropdown box when my page loads. Right now it gives me no errors, but the dang dropdown box isn't set to the value I wanted.
Here is my code:
<body onLoad="IssuesToReportForm.ReportTo.SelectedValue = '<%=strReportTo%>'">
Is this part of the code my problem?
Thanks, Will
<script type="text/javascript">
function PreselectMyItem(itemToSelect)
{
// Get a reference to the drop-down
var myDropdownList = document.IssuesToReportForm.ReportTo;
// Loop through all the items
for (iLoop = 0; iLoop< myDropdownList.options.length; iLoop++)
{
if (myDropdownList.options[iLoop].value == itemToSelect)
{
// Item is found. Set its selected property, and exit the loop
myDropdownList.options[iLoop].selected = true;
break;
}
}
}
</script>
Assuming IssuesToReportForm is your form name and your ReportTo dropdown's name.
Then <body onLoad="PreselectMyItem('<%=strReportTo%>')">
