You can use JavaScript to add the author to the DropDownList but you may run into problems because the ViewState won't match with what was sent to the browser. For an idea of what's involved to get this to work, check out this thread...I know it deals with ListBoxes but the same concept will apply to your DropDownList.
It would be easier to just make an asynchronous call to the server to refresh just the DropDownList instead of the whole page.
hi boos,
Thanks for reply, iam in idea to write the same code for java script in authors page...but the drop down list is in books page ... how can i get the id of the drop down list which is in Books page into the Authors page...
will u plz make me clear in this ...
thanks

I'm assuming that you are using popups. The key to this is to use the JavaScript window.opener to retrieve a reference to the Parent window. You have to set the name of the parent window before opening the popup window so that the window.opener will be set.
So, make a JavaScript function that opens the popup window but names the parent window before opening it. Also, create a function that updates the list that accepts a parameter with the value to add to it.
Call the function that opens the child window when you click the Add button...and when you hit "update" in the child window, have the update button refer to the windows.opener to call the JavaScript function that updates the list....passing it the value to add to the list.
Look up how to use window.opener to achieve what you're trying to accomplish.

In JavaScript you cannot set the DropDownList.Se lectedIndex=1.
The reason you can't do this is because a DropDownList is an ASP.NET Object...not a JavaScript Object. ASP.NET transforms DropDownLists into HTML in order to let the browser know how to display them. The HTML generated for a DropDownList is a <select>.
Since you aren't posting back to the server to process this information using .NET, and you are certain that you want to use JavaScript to implement your solution, I have moved your question to the JavaScript Forum where JavaScript experts can help you. (It would be very challenging for any .NET expert to help you with this) @satyabhaskar
This is a new question.
You should post this question in a new thread in the JavaScript Forum. I would recommend that you research and attempt this before asking your question because there is a lot of information and tutorials on the web about how to do this.

Get the client-side generated ID and use document.getEle mentById() to refer to the element and then set it's selectedIndex property.

Since this ID is not dynamically generated (because you're updating the list using JavaScript) you should know what it is .

Hi,
I'm building a maintenance form for a table and some of the fields are

I thought I could create the dropdown on the fly and add it to the datagrid

How can I get state of dynamically created controls (RadioButton, CheckBox,
TextBox.Text) on post back when I click submit button?
The only way I know is by traversing Response.Form enumberator;
Response.Form.GetEnumerator(), etc. while, identifying specific controls by
programmatically assigned unique id (e.g. MyButton_AnswerID_123).
However, I am not sure if that is the proper way. What is the common
practice?

Hi all,
In a web form I use a for loop to dynamically add TextBox'es to a page
(one for each item in an input file). I can get the input values and I
can display them in Label's and TextBox'es. That part works. However,
my problem is that the form lets the user choose from input files; the
labels are updated, the textboxes are not. This seems to me like it is
a ViewState issue, I just can't figure out how to fix that...
