Dropdownlist - selected value 1

[rac55]

Hi

I have a dropdownlist that is populated from the database. It contains a list of departments. When a user selects department Production, I need a textbox to be displayed. So I need the dropdownlist to be passed to a function and then to javascript. Does anyone have any ideas how to check that department production has been selected?

code is;

<aspropDownList class="spoilageTxtBox" id="lstDepartments" runat="server" DataValueField="DeptID" DataTextField="Department" rows="1" OnSelectedIndexChanged="PopulateContacts" AutoPostBack="True"></aspropDownList>

Dim objDR as OleDbDataReader
objDR = objCmdDept.ExecuteReader()


if lstDepartments.SelectedValue = "Maintenance"

response.write ("You selected2 " & lstDepartments.SelectedItem.Text)
end if

lstDepartments.DataSource = objDR
lstDepartments.DataBind()
lstDepartments.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("-- Select a Department --"))

Thanks

I would use the SelectedIndexChanged event to set the text or visability of a ASPTextBox.

Private Sub lst_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles lst.SelectedIndexChanged
txt.Text = lst.SelectedValue
txt.Visible = True
End Sub


Hope everyone is having a great day!
