submitting the form after DropDownList is loaded

[Sheffield]

Greetings,

After loading a DropDownList, how can I immediately submit the form without using a Button control?

I was thinking the SelectedIndexChanged event would fire off, but apparently not.

When the form was being loaded, I compared each ListItem's Value to a QueryString value and set the Selected property to 'true'. However, this doesn't submit the form.

Please clue me in. I think I'm braindead today, this should be easy...

Thanks

i would just create a sub that does your 'Submit'

then after you've done your comparison to find the selected item, call that Sub...

Why would you want to submit a page when a DropDownList loads? I can understand if you wanted to submit when a selection is made, but not when it loads.

hmmm....I guess I think of another way to submit the form besides using the Button control or the SelectedIndexChanged event of the DropDownList control.

Can you clue me in? Perhaps a little example?

Thanks

you can submit the form with either of those events...however, you made it sound like you were loading a ddlist then you wanted to post the form...

if you're just changing selections on the drop down list, that makes sense...maybe describe what all is happening with you page...
