Problem getting client side value in server side

[CrazyCoder26]

Hi I am populating a Dropdownlist using clientside script.Later, when I am trying to access the dropdownvalue from server side code,it's coming blank. I have tried the following:

         string val=DropDownList1.Text;

I have also tried

         string val=DropDownList1.Attributes\["value"\];

But none worked. Please guide me to solve this.

If you are populating the Dropdown using client side script(JavaScript), then you cannot read dropdown value at server. Dropdown clears when page post back. If you need to read the value, save the selected value of dropdown into the hidden text box, using JavaScript(Before Page Post Back). Now read the textbox value.
