[RESOLVED] Losing my values

[Rocketdawg]

Hi All

I'm working on a javascript that puts the value of a select into a htmlinputtext.

The template looks like this:

<asp:TemplateField>
         <ItemTemplate>
         <asp:Label runat="server" ID="lbl" Text='<%# Bind("OrderDate") %>'></asp:Label>
         <input type="text" runat="server" ID="txtOrderDate" />
             <asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="dd">
             <asp:ListItem Value="Test Value One">Test Value One</asp:ListItem>
             <asp:ListItem Value="Test Value Two">Test Value Two</asp:ListItem>
             </asp:DropDownList>
         </ItemTemplate>
         </asp:TemplateField>

In the rowdatabound, I've got the following code:

Protected Sub GridView1_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles GridView1.RowDataBound
        If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
            Dim txt As HtmlInputText = e.Row.FindControl("txtOrderDate")
            Dim dd As DropDownList = e.Row.FindControl("dd")
            Dim str As String = "var x = getElementById('" & txt.ClientID & "');" & "x.value = this.options[selectedIndex].text;"
            dd.Attributes.Add("onChange", str)
        End If

    End Sub

So far so good. I guess.

Here's where it gets messed up:

Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim txt As HtmlInputText = gvr.FindControl("txtOrderDate")
        'Dim dd As DropDownList = gvr.FindControl("dd")
        Dim i As Integer = 0
        Dim str As String = String.Empty
        For i = 0 To GridView1.Rows.Count - 1
            Dim g As GridViewRow = GridView1.Rows(i)
            Dim t As HtmlInputText = g.FindControl("txtOrderDate")
            str &= t.Value
        Next
        Label1.Text = str
    End Sub

The javascript works. However, whether its the javascript or I type something in the box, when I push button1, I get no values. Nothing. The Label is blank.
If I bind the text box, I get the values.

Resolved: I could have sworn I already tried this, but I switched from an input runat=server to a textbox and it works like a champ.

Thanks in advance

"x.value = this.options[selectedIndex].text;"

You haven't defined selectedIndex.
