Not a problem, though usually you will have better luck on this list...

You can reference the Html select control server-side, but you need to: a)
give it an ID
<select id="boroughDDL">
<option value="1234">
<option... and so forth.
</select>
and b) declare a reference to it (if you are using code-behind)...
private System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlSelect boroughDDL;
and then this should do the trick...
public void funcDDL() {
string val = boroughDDL.Items[boroughDDL.SelectedIndex].Value;
.....
....
}
Note that the ASP:DropDownList ultimately renders as an Html select control
at the browser, so from the code you've shown it's not clear why you are
using the select control directly.

I actually need help with some coding issues - not sure if anyone can
help or is this the right group to post to:
---------------------------------------
I have HTML DDL with values. And I have a button for executing.
<form runat="server" name="DDL">
<select>
<option value="1234">
<option... and so forth.
</select>
<button onclick="funcDDL()"><img></button>
</form>
---------------
C# ->
public void funcDDL() {
string val = DDL.boroughDDL.items.selectedIndex;
.....
....
}
And here is the error:
The type or namespace name 'DDL' could not be found (are you missing
a using directive or an assembly reference?)
I can do it using ASP:DropDownList control but it needs to be done in
the above manner. Is it possible and if yes - could someone help
please...Thanks.
