Load webpage from listbox Selection

Assuming you have all the code already to populate the listbox from the DB in c# then you just need to write some javascript for the onchange event of the listbox.

Somethign like onchange="window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'_top'

sorry, cut and paste blunder: onchange="window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'_top')"

As i wrote i would like a C# answer for it :)

But thanks anyway

The code for listbox and the database is already in order,

The values in the data base

Are:

ID: 1
Location: Here

ID: 2
Location: There

i want when i select There, to have the webpage change to There.aspx

set ListBox AutoPostBack="true" to true, handle OnSelectedIndexChanged, in the event handler code use Response.Redirect("") to the page you want

ohhh i wrote listbox when i meant dropdownlist, sorry for the confusion

You would still need to set the onchange event for the listbox and the end result would be that the aspx would write out javascript to the page.

I'll see if I can find the c# property for this but the onchange text would be:

onchange="location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value + '.aspx'"

Use OnSelectedIndexChanged event of dropdownlist.
In that event write
Response.Redirect(DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text + ".aspx") ;

Thank you Coagantus

When testing the code in a secluded project it worked just as it should, however when im implmenting it into my website nothing happens, ill try and paste some of the code which im using

first my aspx.cs

protected void locationDropDown_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Response.Redirect(locationDropDown.SelectedValue + ".aspx");

my aspx attached as cude

<td align="left" style="width: 160px">
                                                    *
                                                    Location of Access:</td>
                                                <td align="left" style="width: 179px">
                                                    <asp:DropDownList ID="locationDropDown" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" 

DataSourceID="locationSrc"
                                                        DataTextField="Location" DataValueField="Id" Width="155px">
                                                    </asp:DropDownList><asp:CompareValidator ID="CompareValidator2" runat="server" 

ControlToValidate="locationDropDown"
                                                        ErrorMessage="Please select location of visit" Operator="NotEqual" 

ValueToCompare="5">*</asp:CompareValidator></td>

Select allOpen in new window

Location is in DataTextField. So try

Response.Redirect(locationDropDown.SelectedItem.Text + ".aspx") ;

That doesnt seem to work im afraid.

There are two options in my database, lets call them Here and There for now, one has in ID of 1 and the other of 4.

It does the Autopost back, but the page doesnt change.

Great work, thanks for everyone involved, im still new at this but i learn something everyday!
