            </tr>
        </table>
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

The above is my code.

Solution 2

hi,

replace your script by following

C#

var ddl=document.getElementById("<%=dropstatus.ClientID%>");

if (ddl.selectedIndex == "0") {
            alert("Please select the Status");
            ddl.focus();
            return false;
        }

Best Luck
