Hello all,
I am trying to dynamically add elements to a select list (which is running
on the server, runat="server") with JavaScript, but when I postback, the new
elements are lost. I'm not sure how to tell ASP.Net to post back these new
elements as well. Any ideas or sources where you could point me to will be
greatly appreciated. I am still using ASP.Net 1.1.
This is part of the code I am using to dynamically add the element:
myOpenerListCtrl.options[myOpenerListCtrl.options.length] = new Option(
districtName, districtID );
I also tried using standard DOM syntax:
var newOption = document.createElement( "option" );
newOption.setAttribute( "value", districtID );
newOption.innerText = districtName;
myOpenerListCtrl.appendChild( newOption )
But neither is kept in the postback.
Thanks!

Most people add such data to a hidden form field, which you would then
manually process upon postback to keep the lists in sync on both ends.

Thanks, Steve! I also thought about this approach, but was hoping for a
better way...

To be fair, it's not ASP.NET which is guilty here, but the fact that the
items of a SELECT element are not transmitted on postback, but only the
selected value. Which makes sense, if you think of it, or else the
requests could be huge (think of these SELECT with the list of all
countries, for example).
Greetings,
Laurent
