at the clientside fill dropdown
In datagrid , When user checks checks any checkboxes, that row's dropdown populates from database and also gets filter according to id of the checkbox because dropdownlist values are different for each checkboxes tight to dropdown. I need this at the client side so I need javascript code to do that for me, how can I achieve this?
Before resorting to ajax you should consider how much data in total you will be working with and if it is static or changing(dynamic). If the dataset isnt too large and static than you would probably be better off creating a client side datastore and quering that with javascript which I am assuming is what MasonWolf is offering to show you.
The AJAX route isnt too complicated but it will add another layer of complexity to the system.

Yes cap, that's exactly what I was thinking of doing. If it is a large amount of data, do you think you could explain an AJAX solution? I could just bow out and let you take over if that's what we're dealing with.

Thanks guys, actually I have ajax now and learning too, I put my datagrid inside the update panel, enablepartialrendering = true on scripting and set to update panel UpdateMode ="Conditional" that time dropdown is not getting flicker, but before it was refreshing it before I set those above. At the ajax, is there anyway I can take the updatemode out just for dropdown, I don't know though that time maybe it will be some refreshing again, which I don't want that.. If this doesn't work I can go javascript way then..

you are right!!! I am trying to do XMLHttpRequest object. now I found a good example but different than mine I am having hard time to put the my cde on right place..
Unfortunately, I know nothing about AJAX myself (I've been meaning to get to it), but if you like, I can show you an example of how to that by combining PHP and Javascript. Interested?
