In the code snippet below, select any value and pressing the button should display back the value selected. However, this is the way it behaves. It just resets to the first one in the list so the first item is always displayed no matter what the use has selected. This is just because the dropdown list is inside the UI dialog.
In conclusion, any DropDown list contained inside a UI dialog lose its select state. This means that there is not way to recover the selected item. Here is the test code : <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="TEST.aspx.cs" Inherits="amimio.TEST1" EnableViewState="true" %> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http:// www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> <head runat="server"> <title></title> <script src="scripts/jquery-1.3.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></ script> <script src="scripts/jquery/jquery-ui-personalized-1.6rc6.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $("#aDialog").dialog({ autoOpen: false, resizable: false, buttons: { 'OK': function() { $(this).dialog('close'); } } }); }); </script> </head> <body> <form id="form1" runat="server"> <div id="aDialog"> <asp:DropDownList ID="test" runat="server"> <asp:ListItem text="a" /> <asp:ListItem text="b" /> <asp:ListItem text="c" /> </asp:DropDownList></div> <span onclick='$("#aDialog").dialog("open")'>Open Dialog</span> <asp:Button ID="btn" Text="Send" runat="server" /> </form> </body> </html> The code behind file just contains this piece of code : protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (Page.IsPostBack) { Response.Write(test.SelectedItem.Text); } } --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery UI" group.
