Drop down list default name as "select"

ok
can we write conditional statement for same?
Like
var optiontext = parm.options[parm.selectedIndex].text
if( optiontext != "select")
{
 document.getElementById('lblCountry').innerHTML = parm.options[parm.selectedIndex].text
}
else
{
document.getElementById('lblCountry').innerHTML = "";
}

$("#btnSubmit").click(function () {
var parm = document.getElementById("ddlCountry");
document.getElementById('lblCountry').innerHTML = parm.options[parm.selectedIndex].text

hi,

Can u please share the code when you set label text?

you can also write code on dropdown selected change event.

Hi
Your reply is correct. But the problem I faced is that : I have display this drop down list in a label, so that at the the time of not selecting any value in drop down list and enter the submit button. At that time actual process is that nothing is selected and the label should be blank. But here the label is displayed as --select--. I need blank instead of --select--.

Add  this code
ddlCountry.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("--Please Select--", "-1"));

and Check

condition ddlCountry.selectedvalue is equal -1 then save null value to database 

Dropdown control support key-value kind of type means you can add value and text property of it . You can use : ddlCountry.Items[0].Text = "--Select--"; ddlCountry.Items[0].Value =null; now you have to choose value property while sending it to database .
Hope this will help.

hi renjith,

ddlCountry.Items.Insert(0,"--Select Country--");
