Open popup window on selectedIndexChange of "asp:dropdownlist"

[deep7]

Hi, In my application i have a "asp:dropdownlist" control on whose selectedIndexChange event i need to call a javascript function. But i get build error:Too many characters in character literal. If i remove 'runat=s"server" then its doesn't give build error, but on load of page, it doesn't show the control. Spanish Turkish English What can i do get rid of the build error, n for the javascript code to get executed successfully? Could anyone plz help? Thanks

there is no 'onclick' event for an "asp:dropdownlist" and i need to show popup when user selects an item from the dropdownlist only..not on click of dropdownlist

The OnSelectedIndexChanged is server event and not suitable for your purposes. The client-side event you are looking for is onchange. So in the codebehind write: ddlListSelect.Attributes.Add("onchange", "javascript:openPopupNew('frmPopup.aspx')");
