First I will tell you what I have done:

I have a "<select>" control in my web page.
Now I want to change the content of this control dynamically in javascript.

So I tried for testing purpose the following:

I call the function doit() in the onload event of the body tag.

function doit() {
window.setTimeout("_doit()", 500);
}

function _doit() {

alert (document.getElementById ("PT_multivalue2").outerHTML);

document.getElementById ("PT_multivalue2").innerHTML = "huhuhu <option value='1'>eh</option> <option value='2'>eh2</option>";

alert (document.getElementById ("PT_multivalue2").outerHTML);

document.getElementById ("PT_multivalue2").outerHTML = document.getElementById ("PT_multivalue2").outerHTML.replace ("huhuhu", "");

}

So now for explanation:

My 1st try was to set the option list "<option value='1'>eh</option>" als innerHTML. => result: There was no entry in the select control.

My 2nd try was to add the 2 alert statement to see what javascript is doing. And the result was, that innerHTML was only "eh</option>" => the first option tag was missing.

So, I've done the following: I added "huhuhu" at the beginning of the option list. After setting this as innerHTML I replaced the "huhuhu" with "" in the outerHTML attribute.

Do you have any ideas, why the first part of the string is cutted fom innerHTML while setting this attribut.

Thanks in advance.

I have tried your sample. It works.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Javascript Source
=================

<script type="text/javascript">
function addOptions(){
document.getElementById ("PT_multivalue2").innerHTML = "<option value="1">eh</option><option value="2">eh2</option>";
}
</script>

--------------------------------------------------------------------

HTML Source
===========

<input id="Button6" type="button" value="button" onclick="addOptions();" />
<select id="PT_multivalue2">
</select>

I made the following test again.

This is my complete content of my HTML file.

----------------------------------------------------------------

<html>

<head>

<title>Sollterminlaufzeiten</title>

<script language="javascript">

function addOptions() {

document.getElementById ("CodeProjTest").innerHTML = "< option value='1'> eh< /option> < option value='2'> eh2< /option> ";

alert (document.getElementById ("CodeProjTest").innerHTML);

}

</script>

</head>

<body MS_POSITIONING="GridLayout">

<form name="Form1" method="post" action="TargetDateRuntimeConfig.aspx" id="Form1">

<input id="Button6" type="button" value="button" onclick="addOptions();" />

<select id="CodeProjTest"></select>

</form>

</body>

</html>

----------------------------------------------------------------

It still doesn't work.

The alert message box shows the following:

< option value='1'> eh< /option> < option value='2'> eh2< /option>

Do you have any ideas what the problem could be? Maybe you can tell me, what a
alert shows in your example.

Thanks for your help.

< option value='1'>

1. don't add " " (whitespace) between
2. use \" instead of ' (eg. value=\"1\")

See the example in my next post.

I tried exactly what you said...

Know I don't have the HTML-Code "<" for "<", what is good.

But now I have the problem from the beginning again. The first option-tag is missing. I don't know what I make wrong.

I've now tested the HTML-page on another computer, because I thought maybe it is a problem with my PC. But it doesn't work also on the other PC.

Do you have any suggestions what goes wrong?

Thanks and Regards,
Erik

The problem is solved.
I tried the HTML-page in Firefox and it works. It is a bug in Internet Explorer.

Thank you very much for your help.

You probably should write like that.

function addOptions()<br />
		{<br />
		var sel = document.getElementById("CodeProjTest");<br />
		// Remove existing options<br />
		sel.options.length = 0;<br />
<br />
		// Add 5 options, make opt index 2 default selected and 4 selected<br />
		for (var i=0; i<5; ++i){<br />
		sel[sel.options.length] =<br />
		new Option('Option ' + i, 'opt' + i, (i==2), (i==4) );<br />
		}<br />
		}

Hi Guys,

Do you have any idea if how can i open the "Choose File" window in ASP.Net VB type of coding? Because the only control that can open the "Choose File" window is the Upload control. But I only need a button wherein the user will click on it and then a "Choose file" window will show up.

Do you know some work around about this, or a third-party control outthere?

Thanks Guys

This control provides an ASP.NET wrapper aound the standard HTML file upload control. Unless you want to purchase a 3rd-party component, you are limited by the functionality provided by the HTML form elements.

change EnableViewState="false"
when you use update panel
Every post back time viewstate value(Hidden field) value send to server side. and it again pass the viewstate value to browser.

so avoid EnableViewState="true"

Can anyone tell me if I can call a 2005 web service using an existing VB.NET 2003 application.

I want to create my web service in the up to day technology for longevity & to use the zipping facilities, but an existing 2003 app will need to use it.

Are there any issues I need to be aware of.

Any advice would be welcomed.

Yes, you can.

As long as the public interface for your web service doesn't expose any data types that are incompatible with .NET 1.0/1.1, you shouldn't have any problems.

Your best bet is to pass values between the pages using HTML.
