How could I change the NavigateUrl property at runtime based on another controls property ?

Hi, I have a "select" control named "cboSelectScorecardType", defined
as

<select id="cboSelectScorecardType"
size="1"
runat="server">
</select>

which shows a list of files on my drive. It does not post back, nor do
I want it to. After the user selects a document in the combo, I want a
hyperlink defined in the same page as

<asp:HyperLink
Target="_blank"
NavigateUrl="javascript:Concat();"
ID="cmdOpenScorecardPreview"
Text="here"
runat="server">
</asp:HyperLink>

to have the NavigateURL property set to whatever the combo points to,
so that the user can click on it to preview the document selected in
the combo, so therefore I tried to use this:

function MyConcat()
{
return String.Concat(
"~",
"\Scorecard Previews\",

cboSelectScorecardType.Items(cboSelectScorecardType.SelectedIndex).ToString,

".doc"
);
}

I confess I don't really know JavaScript.

What am I doing wrong ? Is there a simpler way to do this ? There is no
server event I can write my code into...

Thanks, Alex

Hi, Milosz, it works great, thank you very much !

:-)) raduspage.aspx... Cute :-))

I read the code, I translated it (mentally) from C# to VB (I don't know
much C#), and it makes sense.

However, I have one question: It says "OnChange is not a valid
attribute of element DropDownList" - however, hmmmmm, it works.

Thanks again - I'll work now on translating it into VB and
incorporating it into my program.

Alex (or.... Radu) :-))

Hi again Radu,

Parser error "OnChange is not a valid attribute of element DropDownList" is
caused by the fact DropDownControl doesn’t have such property, but it will be
rendered as expected in representing HTML code (as you may know dropdownlist
renders as <select> html tag). Such trick is allowed and it’s called
“expando”. You can of course avoid it, removing OnChange=”” attribute from
DropDownList and add it programmatically onpageload event handler:

cboSelectScorecardType.Attributes["onchange"] = "previewFile(this)"

Regards

Milosz
