I have a DropDownList (id: DropDownList1), i want to get the items length by Jquery, but it not work, always return 0.
My temporary solution is using classic javascript to do it, below is the code. <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { //method 1: var items = $("#DropDownList1 options"); alert(items.length); //Output: 0 = wrong //method 2: alert($("#DropDownList1 options").length); //Output:0 = wrong //method 3: alert(document.getElementById ('DropDownList1').options.length); //Output: 7 = Correct! }); </script>
