Hi I have dropdown list code I want to add placeholder there how I can add?
<asp:DropDownList id="ddlyear" runat="server" >
<asp:ListItem >Experience</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>Fresher</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>1</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>2</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>3</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
I want to show like this
You can just do this:
<asp:DropDownList id="ddlyear" runat="server" >
<asp:ListItem selected hidden>Experience</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>Fresher</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>1</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>2</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>3</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
The selected makes it the default, while hidden prevents it to be visible on the expanded list.
It's the simplest way possible.
You can't do it on HTML alone, you'd need Html + jQuery to achieve this.
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlyear" runat="server">
<asp:ListItem>Experience</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>Fresher</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>1</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>2</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>3</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
After this, you need your jQuery to do the magic by removing and re attaching your placeholder.
<script>
var isChanged = false;
$(function () {
$('#ddlyear').focusin(function () {
if (!isChanged) {
// this removes the first item which is your placeholder if it is never changed
$(this).find('option:first').remove();
}
});
$('#ddlyear').change(function () {
// this marks the selection to have changed
isChanged = true;
});
$('#ddlyear').focusout(function () {
if (!isChanged) {
// if the control loses focus and there is no change in selection, return the first item
$(this).prepend('<option selected="selected" value="0">Experience</option>');
}
});
});
</script>
Take note that you need jQuery to use this, just install it as a nuget package or download it manually and add a declaration in your aspx.
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
// Sample only, you can place it in any location or use any version
<script src="../scripts/jquery-2.2.2.min.js"></script>
</head>

Brother try this....
<select placeholder="select your beverage">
<option value="" default="" selected="">select your beverage</option>
<option value="tea">Tea</option>
<option value="coffee">Coffee</option>
<option value="soda">Soda</option>
</select>
In many cases it would be acceptable to have an empty or dummy item as the first item. 'Empty' means that the value is empty, the text can be anything you want.
So like this:
<asp:DropDownList id="ddlyear" runat="server">
<asp:ListItem Value="">Select</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="Experience">Experience</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="Fresher">Fresher</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="1">1</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="2">2</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="3">3</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>

I have a dropdownlist in a table with a blank item in it, I want a error message showed in a label if a button is pressed while that blank item is selected in the dropdrownlist
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" OnSelectedIndexChanged="DropDownListParedesinteriores_ItemChanged">
<asp:ListItem Text="" Value="-1"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value='5'>Excellent</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="4">Very good</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="3">Good</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="2">Bad</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="1">Very bad</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" />
<asp:Label ID="Label9" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label>
This is my Jquery
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function ()
{
$("#Button1").click(function ()
{
var a = $("#<%= DropDownList1.ClientID %>");
if (a.val() === "-1")
{
document.getElementById("Label9").innerHTML = "<b>Please select an option</b>";
document.getElementById("Label9").style.color = "red";
}
else
{
document.getElementById("Label9").innerHTML = "<b>Comfirmed</b>";
document.getElementById("Label9").style.color = "green";
}
})
})
</script>
First of all this button is a server side button you have to disable postaback to make it work on client side by using onClientClick="return false" .Secondly in order to use Button1 as id($("#Button1")) you need to change ClientIDMode to static same goes for the label
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" onClientClick="return false" ClientIDMode="Static" />
<asp:Label ID="Label9" runat="server" Text="" ClientIDMode="Static"></asp:Label>
if you dont want to use static client id you have to replace
$("#Button1") with $("#<%= Button1.ClientID %>")
document.getElementById("Label9") with document.getElementById("<%= Label9.ClientID %>")
Your button 1 selector "$("#Button1).click" click event does not consider the client ID like your dropdown list does. That may be causing the issue if jquery finds nothing for button 1 and the click event never gets triggered.
A possible fix is to change the selector to the same as you do in the line where you use jquery to get the dropdown list.
How can I get chosen values from select tag after click button? Here I get html select with multiple choose.
selTest.Value returns only first selected item.
<select runat="server" id="selTest" name="selTest" data-placeholder="Choose a Country..." class="chzn-select" style="width:350px;" tabindex="4">
<option value=""></option>
<option value="United States" selected="selected">United States</option>
<option value="Western Sahara">Western Sahara</option>
<option value="Yemen">Yemen</option>
<option value="Zambia" selected="selected">Zambia</option>
<option value="Zimbabwe" selected="selected">Zimbabwe</option>
</select>
<asp:Button ID="testBt" runat="server" OnClick="testBt_Click" Text="ds" />
Code behind:
protected void testBt_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
If you use an ASP.NET ListBox proper you can access the Items, strongly-typed, and query:
<asp:ListBox runat="server" id="MyList" SelectionMode="Multiple">
<asp:ListItem Value="-1"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Valuealue="United States" Selected="True">United States</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Valuealue="Western Sahara">Western Sahara</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Valuealue="Yemen">Yemen</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Valuealue="Zambia" Selected="True">Zambia</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Valuealue="Zimbabwe" Selected="True">Zimbabwe</asp:ListItem>
</asp:ListBox>
And then to get the selected items (using Linq):
var selected = MyList.Items.Where(i => i.Selected);
Html:
<asp:ListBox ID="Options" SelectionMode="Multiple" runat="server">
<asp:ListItem Value="option1" >Option #1</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="option2" >Option #2</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="option3" >Option #3</asp:ListItem>
</asp:ListBox>
Code behind:
var options = Options.Items.Cast<ListItem>()
.Where(item => item.Selected)
.Select(item => item.Value)
.ToList();
'options' will be a list of string contains all selected values.
Weird behaviour happening in my DropDownList Asp.net
My Code:
<asp:DropDownList ID="DDLFromMinutes" runat="server" Width="20%">
<asp:ListItem Text="00" Value="00"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Text="15" Value="15"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Text="30" Value="30"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Text="45" Value="45"></asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
However when i run it for example if 15 is the Selected Value i get it Twice in my DropDownList
While Debugging in FireBug get the following:
<select id="ContentPlaceHolder1_DDLFromMinutes" style="width:20%;" name="ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$DDLFromMinutes">
<option value="00" selected="selected">30</option>
<option value="15">15</option>
<option value="30">30</option>
<option value="45">45</option>
</select>
Code behind:
string Frominput = seprateFromTime[1];
string Frommin = Frominput.Substring(0, 2);
DDLFromMinutes.SelectedItem.Text = Frommin;
if (DDLFromMinutes.Items.Count > 0)
{
DDLFromMinutes.SelectedIndex = DDLFromMinutes.Items.IndexOf(DDLFromMinutes.Items.FindByText(Frommin));
}
While saving the Data is use DDLFromMinutes.SelectedItem.Text Could this be an issue?
You need to use MyDropDown.SelectedValue instead of selectedItem.Text.
Details here: MSDN
do you want to get the value of drop down list? If so, I think you need to change SelectedItem to SeletedValue.
i have a drop downlist. When Selected Index changes I wanted to handle it in javascript. So, as starting step , I tried to print the value of list item text in a textbox through javascript. But could not accomplish it successfully. Here is the dropdownlist:
<asp:DropDownList Width="300px" ID="PlaceHoldersDropDownList" runat="server"
AppendDataBoundItems="True" TabIndex="3" AutoPostBack="True"
OnSelectedIndexChanged = "PlaceHoldersDropDownList_SelectedIndexChanged" >
<asp:ListItem Value="">Select</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="ContactName">[Contact Name]</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="ProductName">[Product Name]</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="ProductShortName">[Product Short Name]</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="CurrentTime">[Current Time]</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="EventStartTime">[Event Start Time]</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="EventStopTime">[Event Stop Time]</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:TextBox ID="tb" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
Here is the C# code
protected void PlaceHoldersDropDownList_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender,
EventArgs e)
{
var text = PlaceHoldersDropDownList.SelectedItem.Text;
string x = text;
PlaceHoldersDropDownList.Attributes.Add("onchange", "javscript:PasteTextInEditor
('"+text+"')");
}
Here is the javascript
function PasteTextInEditor(text) {
var x = document.getElementById("<%= tb.ClientID %>");
x.value = text; }
Can you please let me know the mistake I've been doing?
first you have to set AutoPostBack to false to handle it in client side(javascript) and you don't need to add onchange event programatically, you can just write it in the <asp:DrobDownList> something like that
<asp:DropDownList Width="300px" ID="PlaceHoldersDropDownList" runat="server"
AppendDataBoundItems="True" TabIndex="3" AutoPostBack="false"
onchange="PasteTextInEditor()">
and the PasteTextInEditor method will become
function PasteTextInEditor() {
var text = $("#<%= PlaceHoldersDropDownList.ClientID %> option:selected").text();
$("#<%= tb.ClientID %>").val(text);
}
note I am using jquery syntax
Using jQuery you can make the following:
1- turn off AutoPostBack and don't handle the OnSelectedIndexChanged event:
<asp:DropDownList Width="300px" ID="PlaceHoldersDropDownList" runat="server" AppendDataBoundItems="True" TabIndex="3" >
2- add a reference to jQuery
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
3- add a "startup" script to hook the onchanged event for the dropdown list, read the javascripts comments for more details.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
var ddl = $("#<%= PlaceHoldersDropDownList.ClientID %>");
var txt = $("#<%= tb.ClientID %>");
// hook the change event for the drop down list
$(ddl).change(function (e) {
var selectedValue = $(ddl).val();
// set the selectedValue into the textBox
$(txt).val(selectedValue);
});
});
</script>
I am having 2 dropdown lists on my page if i select an item the same selected item should be displayed in another drop down list. Can any one give me a javascript for this i need Javascript not Jquery
here is a very simple implementation of what you are describing:
given the html:
<select id="select1">
<option value="foo">foo</option>
<option value="bar">bar</option>
</select>
<select id="select2">
<option value="foo">foo</option>
<option value="bar">bar</option>
</select>
and this javascript:
document.getElementById('select1').onchange = function(e) {
var index = this.selectedIndex;
document.getElementById('select2').options[index].selected = true;
}
you can achieve what you want. note the indexes should be exactly the same in both select boxes (as in the options should be in the same order)
You can attach an onchange event on your dropdown.
Then whenever your selected Index changes, it will fire and call the supplied update method.
For example:
HTML
<asp:DropDownList id="FirstDropdown" onChange="javascript:update();" ...>
JavaScript
<script type="text/javascript">
function update ( ) {
document.getElementById('<%= SecondDropdown.ClientID %>').value =
document.getElementById('<%= FirstDropdown.ClientID %>' ).value;
}
Try this
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddl1" runat="server">
<asp:ListItem Value="1"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="2"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>3</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="4"></asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server">
<asp:ListItem>1</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>2</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>3</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>4</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem></asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
<script type="text/javascript">
function MyApp(sender){
var lbMatch = false;
var loDDL2 = document.getElementById('DropDownList1');
for(var i=0; i< loDDL2.length-1; i++){
lbMatch = sender.value==loDDL2.options[i].value;
lsSelected = lbMatch ? "<=SELECTED" : "";
if(lbMatch)
loDDL2.selectedIndex = sender.selectedIndex;
}
}
</script>
In page load event add this
ddl1.Attributes.Add("OnChange", "MyApp(this)");
