Web Forms :: Clicking The Label Of A Dropdown List - Resets The Selected Value To The First Item In The List?

Feb 17, 2010

Clicking the label of a drop down list, re-sets the selected value to the first item in the list. This has a history of causing data entry problems when users accidently click on the label.

In the below example ddlContactType has a selected value as 'PRIMARY' and whenever i click on the lblContactType Text, the dropdown box Selected value is changing to "Select One" Text.

How to prevent this one. It should be on PRIMARY Only.

<p>
<tr> <td ><asp:Label ID="lblContactType" Font-Bold="true" Text="Contract Type: *" ForeColor= "red" runat="server" AssociatedControlID="ddlContactType"></asp:Label> </td> <td > <asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="ddlContactType" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" AppendDataBoundItems="true"
DataTextField="TYPE" DataValueField="ID" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("CONTACT_TYPE_ID") %>'>
<asp:ListItem Text="Select One" Value="0" Selected="True"></asp:ListItem>.......

C# - Dropdown - Get The Value Of The First Item In The List Regardless Of What Item Is Actually Selected

Dec 3, 2010

I have a drop down list control populated with items and some code to take the currently selected item value. The problem is I only get the value of the first item in the list regardless of what item is actually selected. Here is my code to populate the drop down:

protected void displayCreateCategories()
{
StoreDataContext db = new StoreDataContext();
var a = from c in db.Categories
orderby c.Name
select new{catName= c.Name,
catId=c.CategoryID};
ddlCategory.DataSource = a;
ddlCategory.DataTextField = "catName";
ddlCategory.DataValueField = "catId";
ddlCategory.DataBind();
}

To get the value of the currently selected item which in my case is always of type integer I do label1.text=Convert.toInt32(ddlCategory.SelectedValue); I get the selected value, but it is always for the 1st item in the list. I'm pulling my hair out over this.

Web Forms :: Redirecting A User Selected Item In A Drop Down List To Another Item?

Feb 10, 2010

I have a list with 2 sorts of items. Items that have actual values (1,2,3,4 etc) and items that are like group headings so all their values are set to 0. If someone decides to select a group heading - which has a value of 0, is it possible to redirect them to my 'Select an item' item which has a value of ""?

If worse comes to worse, I can just reconstruct the entire list, although if possible I'd like to avoid it.

Populating A Dropdown List Based On Value Selected In Previous List (mvc3)

Mar 18, 2011

I'm trying to progam a strongly typed "Create" view using MVC 3 and razor. I want the user to be able to select a customer from a dropdown list (I populated this from my database using ViewBag in the controller). When the user has selected a customer I want a separate dropdown list to generate a list of dogs belonging to that customer related by the customerID in the database. The create button on the form will then take both of these values along with the the other fields and save it to the database.

JQuery :: How To Create A Bubble Up For Dropdown Selected Item

Nov 23, 2010

I am facing a problem with jquery bubbleup plugin....

My goal is to show selected item text in a bubble up on the top of the asp.net dropdown list...

I did it on the server side and its working fine....now i want to do it in a nice way using jquery....

I am not concern with only bubble up...

anything which shows my selected item text in the dropdown list...because some text in the drop down is very big and we are unable to see it..

I do have around 10 dropdown lists on my page and all are inside formviews...

so its better to operate on class selector...like $('.mydropdown').val();

Web Forms :: Add A A First Default Item To A Drop Down List

Feb 9, 2011

I fill a the drop down list with a SQL select query, but i want to add a first default item, something like "- Select an option -" or "All"

What im trying to do is make a dynamic SQL query, something like this:

SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE (value1 = ? AND value2 = ? AND value3 = ? )........ (or "like" instead of "=")

You are gonna have to select those arguments from 3 drop down lists, but i wanna have a default value on the top of the drop down list options and send a "*" as value if this option its selected, so the filter doesn't consider that value
