sure...I have updated my question...
Member 10066916 1-Aug-13 3:51am    
The ASP.NET code is

<pre lang="HTML"> <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlgroup" runat="server"


style="z-index: 1; left: 118px; top: 148px; position: absolute; height: -5px;"
AutoPostBack="True"
onselectedindexchanged="ddlgroup_SelectedIndexChanged1">


<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlname" runat="server"

style="z-index: 1; left: 332px; top: 147px; position: absolute; height: 35px; width: 117px;"
onselectedindexchanged="ddlname_SelectedIndexChanged" AutoPostBack="True">


<table style="width: 85%; removed 207px; removed 14px; removed: absolute; height: 593px;">
<tr>
<td class="style5">
2.</td>
<td class="style7">
DESIGNATION</td>
<td colspan="3">
<asp:Label ID="lbldes" runat="server" Text="Label">
</td>
</tr>
In the event : ddlgroup_SelectedIndexChanged1,

remove ddlname.SelectedIndex = 0;

Dont forget to rate the solution and mark it as an answer.

what exact functionality you want ?

Cascading Dropdown with updated label name based on child dropdown right ?
Member 10066916 4-Aug-13 12:54pm    
yes..its like this...when an element from the group drop down list is clicked the name drop down list appears...when an element from name drop down list is clicked...the designation should appear into the label...
