Hi all,
This is crazy...
The name of my dropdownlist on the ascx page is:
nameOfMyControl_DropDownListName
Like:
contactWebUserControl_DropDownList2
Now I put my ascx in sharepoint and the name is :
<select
name="Left:g_708f9018_c320_46a1_bb9c_ebb3b67b8184:_ctl0:DropDownList2"
id="Left_g_708f9018_c320_46a1_bb9c_ebb3b67b8184__ctl0_DropDownList2"

I have a fuction in java to catch this name as:
var drop2 = document.getElementById("contactWebUserControl_DropDownList2");

How can I do it now??
Tks

you have to link to JavaScript through code behind. This will catch the name
no matter what it is at run time.

This javascript function will help you. Call it as

var drop2 = findControl("select", "contactWebUserControl_DropDownList2");

function findControl(tagName, controlId)
{
var aControls = document.getElementsByTagName(tagName);
if (aControls==null)
return null;
for (var i=0; i< aControls.length; i++)
{
var j = aControls.id.lastIndexOf(controlId);
if ((j > -1) && (j == (aControls.id.length - controlId.length)))
return aControls;
}
return null;
}
 
Tks for you reply Eliyahu,
Looks like it works but I got an error "style" is null or not an object.
What is this mean? Any ideas?
