Asked By muthuraman alexander on 02-Dec-11 04:29 AM
hi all,

i have a asp:textbox and a asp:dropdownlist
i need to populate the drop down when the text is entered in the text box............
for example when i enter a postal code in the text box, city names for that postal code in the database should populated in the drop down

i have done this is in OnTextChanged  event of the text box..but this havent meet the expectation...
while trying the on key press ,.it was a client side event
one way for this is we can use ajax to call the server side method from the jquery...

but i dnt know how to implement this   or  any other way for this solution............?

Hi,

For Jquery you must change the event name from "change" to "onchange":
$(document).ready(function(){
    $("input#tags").bind("onchange", autoFill);
      });
 
or use the shortcut binder method change:
 
$(document).ready(function(){
    $("input#tags").change(autoFill);
      });

Note that the onchange event usually fires when the user leave the input, so for auto-complete you better use the keydown event.
