Hi,

i have my button inside a repeater and it validates info from textboxes and ddl inside the repeater.. The prob is that i have "SELECT VALUE" chosen as the default value in my ddl. so while saving i want to check if the value in the DDL is not SELECT VALUE, then only it should save those..

so right now my code is

private void Item_Created(Object Sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
            {
                Button _deleteButton = (Button)e.Item.FindControl("btnDelete");
                _deleteButton.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return deleteUser();");

                Button _moveUserButton = (Button)e.Item.FindControl("btnMoveUser");
                DropDownList _dll = (DropDownList)e.Item.FindControl("lstStudyType1");
                string _group = _dll.SelectedValue;
                if (_group !="SELECT VALUE")
                {
                 
                    _moveUserButton.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return moveUser();");
                }
                else
                {
                    _moveUserButton.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return showAlert();");
                }

            }

        }

function showalert ()

{

alert('please select a value');

return false

}

function moveUser()
{

  var answer=confirm("Are you sure you want to move this candidate?");
  if(answer)
  return true;
  else
  return false;
 
}

But the code inside item_created does not work.. it even if ddl value is SELECT VALUE.. the moveUser() function is always called..

so could anyone plz help.. 

Thanks,

Nitin.
