AJAX :: Repopulate Cascading Dropdown List Using Javascript
Mar 31, 2010
I've 2 dropdownlists, both are binded to a cascadingdropdown. Whenever I select an option in the 1st dropdownlist (parent), the options in the 2nd dropdownlist (child) will repopulate based on the options I selected in the parent dropdownlist. I need a javascript function to reset the options of both dropdownlists in their initial state (the prompt text).
I've tried changing the selectedIndex of the parent dropdownlist. However, this only changes the selected option in the parent dropdownlist. It does not reset the child dropdownlist to its initial state (which is supposed to be disabled and without any options). Need the script to reset the chained dropdownlists?
I want to call the webservice method for repopulating the contains of cascading dropdown.
I dont want to write onparentchange method.
Requirement is simple. But dont know how to proceed.
On parent selection four dropdown will populate.
Now if I select the first child dropdown then again acccording to the choice of parent and first dropdown second, third and fourth will populate. And like wise.
Now how to call the webservice methods after selection of first one to repopulate the containt of the second, third and fourth dropdown.
How can i generate dropdown lists based on what has been selected in the checckbox list. Below is an example of what i need. if the user selects the options day, lotID and waferID, then 3 cascading dropdown lists should be displayed. And then a gridview displays data based on what has been chosen in the dropdown lists.
Day LotID SlotID WaferID VendorID ToolID LocationDetected ProcessStep Stage Precipe WaferStartMaterial WaferStartVendor WaferStartLot WaferDiameterCOA WaferMapTitle BreakPoint BreakpointSide BreakpointMeasurement
I have a Cascading drop down list that is working fine to load the correct lists however I would like to have the last one initiate a query and display a datagrid on the same page containing the results of the query. Without Ajax involved this seems rather easy by using autopostback on the drop downs. If I could do it through Ajax that would be great but I can settle with having the page to reload to display the data. Right now I'm not sure how to do either. I enabled autopostback on the last drop down and wrote a method for it but I get an error at runtime saying:
I am new to using Ajax Control toolkit. I need to create a dynamic cascading dropdowns in which the no of dropdowns will be programatically decided. Also the last dropdown can be replaced with a listbox as well. how i can leverage the Ajax toolkit's cascading dropdown.
is there a way to cancel the current selection for a cascadingdropdown list ? For example, user changes selection, I present user with option to cancel selection and if he chooses to cancel, then the old value should be reverted.
I have 2 DropDownLists and use a cascadingdropdown to populate them which works fine. Problem I have is that I aso set the selectedvalue of the first DDL via Javascript. This doesn't then cascade the second DDL.
Code (for what its worth):
function SetControls(intAppId, intDelegateId){ var ddlApplication = document.getElementById('<%= ddlApplication.ClientID %>'); var ddlDelegate = document.getElementById('<%= ddlDelegate.ClientID %>');
I am using the newest AJAX control toolkit. What I want to accomplish is I have a modal popup panel with cascading dropdown list and radio button inside. The issue is the postback. RadioButton and Cascading dropdown have postback so that will cause the modal panel disappear after the postback. I just want the panel disappear after I click the ok button on the panel and send the data into a field in a page. What I did was I placed the update panel inside the popup panel. If I did that, I would see the dropdown lists automatically refresh every time by accessing the webservice. If I placed the update panel outside, the dropdown would not be triggered. Even I set the trigger for the Update Panel, it will not see that way.
I am using cascading dropdown list where the no of dropdowns is created dynamically on the page. The cascading drop downs are contained in a User Control. I need to call a method from the Parent page which will be executed when the values in one of the dropdowns change. The server side event is not firing as I have set AutoPostback property for the dropdownlists to be false. How can i make the Page event fired from the Selected index changed of the dropdowns keeping the autopostback property to be set as false.
i use cascading dropdown lists (in a user registration form) and when the user hits the submit button i get the error: "Invalid postback or callback argument" I've seen on the net that this is a problem dating back many years but still haven't found a solution to this. I've read about changing EnableEventValidation to false, but this poses a security risk.
I have a form that needs to display 3 dropdown lists, one for my client type, then, based on the selection, my second list shows the clients for that type, and then based on the client name, my third dropdown box shows the contacts for that client. The first dropdown list one being a normal html.dropdownlist, and the other 2 being CascadingDropdownLists.
I have followed Stephen Walther's method 1 located at [URL]. If I select my client type, then my client names in my second dropdown shows perfectly, but when I choose my client name, the third dropdown does not work. When I view my page source, all my contacts are listed in my <select> control, but my dropdown box stays blank. Did anyone ever get a third dropdown to work?
