Hi, I am wondering if anyone has any experience using a JQuery plugin that converts a html <select> <option> Blah </option> </select> combo box into something (probably a div) where selecting an item acts the same as clicking a link. I guess you could probably use javascript to handle a selection event (my javascript knowledge is a...
I'm writing an ASP.Net webform with some DropDownList controls on it. Then user changes selected item in one of dropdowns, ASP.Net doesn't seem to handle SelectedIndexChanged event until form is submitted with a 'Submit' button click. How do I make my dropdowns handle SelectedIndexChanged instantly? P.S. It's a classic question I have a...
I have a dropdownlist with the autopostback set to true. I want the user to confirm if they really want to change the value, which on post back fires a server side event (selectedindexchanged). I have tried adding an onchange attribute "return confirm('Please click OK to change. Otherwise click CANCEL?';") but it will not postback regar...
In IE, the dropdown-list takes the same width as the dropbox (i hope i am making sense) whereas in Firefox the dropdown-list's width varies according to the content. This basically means that i have to make sure that the dropbox has to be wide enough to display the longest selection possible. this makes my page look very ugly :( Is th...
Hello, I just want an ASP.NET DropDownList with no selected item. Setting SelectedIndex to -1 is of no avail, so far. I am using Framework 3.5 with AJAX, i.e. this DropDownList is within an UpdatePanel.

I have a drop down list in a GridView. The data inside the drop down list has variable length but the drop down list is of a fixed size. How can a tooltip be displayed over each item without selecting any item from the drop down list?

I am using a codebehind page in ASP.NET to perform a SQL query. The query is loaded into a string, the connection is established (To Oracle), and we get it started by having the connection perform .ExecuteReader into a OleDBDataReader (We'll call it DataRead). I'll try to hammer out an example below. (Consider Drop as an ASP DropDownL...
We have a series of drop down controls that determine the sort order of columns. The problem we are having is when the user selects a column as the 2nd column the other dropdown lists need to have their values changed so that there is only one "2nd". Column A [1] Column B [2] Column C [3] Column D [4] Column E ...
I'm using @media print in my external css file to hide menus etc. However while printing the little triangle of a dropdownlist still shows. Is there a css setting available to hide it as well and only print the selected item? ...
To Clarify to all this problem absolutely does not stem from rebinding of the controls and the value does not remain the initial value after binding. I have a DropDownList on an aspx page which is being used in multiple projects. Along the life cycle of the page the SelectedValue is changed prior to the handling of the SelectedIndexCha...

Hi all, I’m having an issue where a drop down list in IE 6/7 is behaving as such: You can see that the drop down width is not wide enough to display the whole text without expanding the overall drop down list. However in Firefox, there is no issue as it expands the width accordingly. This is the behaviour we want in IE 6/7: We’ve...

I'm curious as to the best route (more looking towards simplicity, not speed or efficiency) to sort a DropDownList in C#/ASP.NET - I've looked at a few recommendations but they aren't clicking well with me. Edit: Folks, I do not have control over how the data comes into the DropDownList - I cannot modify the SQL. ...
Drop-down lists, menus and combo boxes are all very common user interface elements. Users are accustomed to seeing these elements in native applications and sometimes web apps, but there are a few problems with them. You have to aim the mouse. Some menus collapse when you mouse out, and some have submenus that you have to aim at to ex...
Hi, I want to subclass the built-in DropDownList in ASP.NET so that I can add functionality to it and use it in my pages. I tried doing this with a UserControl but found that it doesn't expose the internal DropDownList (logically, I guess). I've googled for the answer but can't find anything. I've come as far as writing the actual clas...
