Problem populating dropdown in javascript

[Nicolas Bottarini]

Hi:
I am populating a dropdown via javascript (i have 2 dropdowns, one
with info from the DB and when you click on an item it is moved to the
other one via javascript). How i can get the items of the second
dropdown at server side? I also have to maintain state of the 2
dropdowns when the user submits the page.

Thanks you very much

Nicolas

You get the items of the second drop-down the same way you get items from
any drop-down. Let's say you had a regular drop-down, and it had 10 items in
it. The user selects the 10th item in the list. What is the value of
Request.Form(drop-downlistName)? It's the value of the selected item. If
more than 1 item is selected, all the values are passed as an array.


So, in case you still haven't figured it out by now, you have to use
JavaScript to select all the items prior to PostBack.

The problem is that i can't do Request.Form(DropDownListName) because
my dropdown is inside a templated control so the namingspace change and
if i use de clientID property it isn't the same as the one that is
posted back.

The ID property isn't posted. The Name property is.

the clientID property is something like ctl0:ctl1:myControl, the name
property is myControl and the post var is ctl0_ctl1_myControl.

That's the problem.
