I have the follwing dropdown list and to get the selected value with javascript is easy enough.
<select id="FirstDropDown" runat="server" onchange="ValidatePrimaryDropDown();" >
<option>[Please Select Yes Or No]</option>
<option>Yes</option>
<option>No</option>
</select>
var e = document.getElementById("FirstDropDown");
var dropDownFirst = e.options[e.selectedIndex].value;
I prefer to use this dropdown as apposed to 'asp:DropDownList'
.
How can I retrieve the selected value in code behind C#?
There are FindByText and FindByValue function available.
ListItem li = Select1.Items.FindByText("Three");
ListItem li = Select1.Items.FindByValue("3");
li.Selected = true;
