Change text of link button based on selected value of dropDownListThis is a discussion on Change text of link button based on selected value of dropDownList within the DOTNET forums in Framework and Interface Programming category; I have a dropDownList and a LinkButton. The LinkButton's text needs to reflect the selected item in the dropDownList. So, when Subscribe is selected in the dropDownList, the LinkButton's text needs to also be "Subscribe". Also, if the dropDownList's selected item is Unsubscribe, the LinkButton's text needs to be "Unsubscribe". This needs to happen without a page postback or reload. How do I do this?... | ||||||||

| Re: Change text of link button based on selected value of dropDownList You can do it client-side in javascript. You will need to view the source for the page, locate the controls in interest in html, and figure out what client events to handle. It may be trivial or not so depending on where on the page the controls are. -- Eliyahu Goldin, Software Developer Microsoft MVP [ASP.NET] http://msmvps.com/blogs/egoldin http://usableasp.net "Andy B" <a_borka@sbcglobal.net> wrote in message news:uIqgPraEJHA.1460@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... >I have a dropDownList and a LinkButton.

| Re: Change text of link button based on selected value of dropDownList Sure, it will be much simpler. Put the controls in the same UpdatePanel and handle server-side SelectedIndexChanged event. -- Eliyahu Goldin, Software Developer Microsoft MVP [ASP.NET] http://msmvps.com/blogs/egoldin "Andy B" <a_borka@sbcglobal.net> wrote in message news:uKjCKucEJHA.2072@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > Cant you use ajax for something like this? > > > "Eliyahu Goldin" <REMOVEALLCAPITALSeEgGoldDinN@mMvVpPsS.org> wrote in > message news:utP5kpbEJHA.616@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... >> You can do it client-side in javascript.
