Troubleshooting Question
Populate ASP.Net TextBox with value from DropDownList using JQuery
I am trying to populate a TextBox within an ASPX page (C#) with a dropdownlist value using JQuery. I have no idea if this is right. I'm simply trying things I am readying on the internet. The Javascript says that DDL_ID (which I assume would be the dropdowlist) and TextBoxID (which i assume is the textbox) CANT BE FOUND. I don't know if this will work or not but I am trying anything I can at this point to prevent users from having to type in a freeformtextbox.
