How can I let my users type a value into a DropDownList that isn't in the options list?

They must enter the text in another textbox, and then add it yourself.

Aw, damn.

The only idea I have is to use the ASP.NET AJAX AutoComplete extender[^]. It looks like a drop down, but at the same time it allows you to type in any text. I haven't used it myself yet.
Kind regards,

Thanks Pawel, I will look at that control for future work, but I can't use it now. We have rolled out own AJAX, so no external controls are desirable.
What I'm thinking of doing is placing a textbox over the dropdown, and only ever using the textbox value. Whenever the user chooses from the dropdown, the text box gets the value of the dropdown, but they can overwrite this. When they save, I read the textbox.

Hi Friends
I am trying to go from one page to another page using Javascript in my aspx page.
I am using
{
window.location.href = link;
}
My var link has the URL and i did confirm it by using alert.
I am getting the correct URL but i want it to go to that page.
I think window.location.href is the method for redirecting to another page.
Not sure whats wrong.
If any of you have any suggestions or help, it would be appreciated.
Thanks
Cheers

What you have will work in IE, but not Firefox. Someone will no doubt say this is because FF is w3-compliant and IE isn't or some such nonsense, but don't believe them: it's a bug.
The fix is twofold:
First, add a "return false;" to stop FF posting the page back to itself:
window.location.href=link;
return false;
Second, note that if running this script locally you will need to make your link absolute (http://...) but when running on a live web server a relative link will work.

Thanks Fred,
Well you are correct it was bug from the browser, It doesnt work for FireFox and older versions of IE also, but works for IE7.
Thanks again

Have you installed a web server, like IIS, on your machine?
If you use the built in web server in Visual Studio, that can only be used on the local machine.
Experience is the sum of all the mistakes you have done.

|

|

yeah..IIS is installed on that machine.
but still having problems

Yups, use publish web site and uncheck the option "Allow this site to be updatable".

If you pass the date as a parameter rather than trying to inject it into the SQL String you won't have to worry about date formats.
It will also give you an extra benefit of protecting you against SQL Injection Attacks.
And this appears to be a database question - Why isn't it in the SQL Forum?
|
|

|
|
This is a presentation issue. SQL Server stores date in a particular format. You can change the format when selecting data. Use CONVERT function to format date.

hello abglorie,
in the database change the datatype of the datefieldname as varchar(50)
u will get or in the query write it as
select convert(varchar(10),getdate(),101) or 103
ok byee
