I have dropdown list I want to let the user pick an item in the list and add
it to text box.
It works all fine as long as I set the Autopostback on the dropdown list.
the only problems I have is the speed of page as it is being redrawn on
every selection.
my question is there a way to move the selection to the text box on the
client side without the trip to the server?

this is the code behind the dropdiwn list:
protected void CmbClaimPrefix_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender,EventArgs
e)

{

if (TxtCvgNum.Text=="ALL")

TxtCvgNum.Text=CmbCvgNum.SelectedValue;

else

TxtCvgNum.Text+=","+CmbCvgNum.SelectedValue;

}

hi Phil,
you can try to do it exclusively in clientside js, this way you wont need to
postback un-necessarily.
In the following code i pasted below, replace 'TextBox1' with the id of your
textbox.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!this.IsPostBack)
        {
            this.DropDownList1.Attributes.Add("onchange",
"document.getElementById('TextBox1').value =
this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;");
        }
    }

first I would like to say thanks that does work. I do still have one problem
when I examine the text box in code the values that were added by the
dropdown list are not in the text property of the text box, even though they
show on the screen just fine!

any ideas
thanks
phil

hi phil, this test seems to work well. In page_load and button click event,
i get the value supplied by the dropdownlist, so i dont know what you did to
make it not work for you :

Regards,
Alessandro Zifiglio
http://www.AsyncUI.net

code behind :
------------------------
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!this.IsPostBack)
        {
            this.DropDownList1.Attributes.Add("onchange",
"document.getElementById('TextBox1').value =
this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;");
        }
        else
        {
            Response.Write("<br /> page_load fired, value of textbox is : "
+ TextBox1.Text);
        }
    }

    protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Response.Write("<br /> button click fired, value of textbox is : " +
TextBox1.Text);
    }

Declarative code :
------------------------

<form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
        <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server">
            <asp:ListItem>a</asp:ListItem>
            <asp:ListItem>b</asp:ListItem>
            <asp:ListItem>c</asp:ListItem>
            <asp:ListItem>d</asp:ListItem>
        </asp:DropDownList>
        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" OnClick="Button1_Click"
Text="Button" /></div>
    </form>

you are welcome phil. By the way, you mean the opposite. Because it works
for me on an asp.net textbox control :-)
