Hi,

I'm trying to get a webdropdown to load (without postback) from the value of a textbox. Is this possible? The user enters a number in the textbox and that number is used in a stored procedure to return a set for a dropdown. Right now I do this server-side with auto post backs.

I'm starting by adding the onchange event to the textbox:

textbox.Attributes.Add("onchange", "return textboxChanged(this);");

that calls this js function:

        function textboxChanged(textControl) {

            //Gets reference to the the webdropdown
            var webdropdown= $find('<%= webdropdown.ClientID %>');

            //clear current selection
            webdropdown.set_currentValue("", true);

            webdropdown.loadItems(textControl.value);
        }

but i don't think this is right. it doesn't pass the right objects to the webdropdown_ItemsRequested event. Can this approach work or do i need to go a different direction?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
