Hi,

I am using dojo filteringselect control and bind the values from DB. I want to do a validation in javascript and want to take the selected value. When I am doing this I got an error
''options' is null or not an object'. Kindly help to overcome this issue and below is the javascript and aspx code.

JavaScript:

var sel = document.getElementById("testdropdown");
var str1Try = sel.options[sel.selectedIndex].value;

<select dojotype="dijit.form.FilteringSelect" autocomplete="true" id="testdropdown" name="testdropdown" style="width: 200px;" runat="server">

Thanks in advance,
Janes

Solution 3

JavaScript

//For most of the dijit.form widgets, the value can be fetched by widget.get('value')
var value = dijit.byId('testdropdown').get('value');

I don't know which explorer you using but, in IE if you provide the same name for "id" and "name" attribute , then it through that type of error.

Say this is your select list :

HTML

<select id="testdropdown">
<option value="1">Option1</option>
<option value="2" selected="selected">Option2</option>
<option value="3">Option3</option>
</select>
