Thanks for the reply mate. Even i found ways to raise event once a particular item is selected. But there must be "some" way to work upon a particular item , on the basis of mouseover event on a particular item. The comboBox must be selected indeed, but when its opened, then i want to raise event on "each" item within it as the mouce is moved over it. [What all i am looking for] One may notice that even the browser internally raises some event as the mouse is moved over the items. Since the item under the mouse is displayed in different color. There must be something like that in javascript as well.

Thanks a lot for the reply. I understand what the code is doing is, its loading the textbox again in each page load so as to keep its existence thru the round trips. The solution is perfectly fine but i didnt wanted that to happen. I dont want to reload the textbox once the "save" button is clicked. To be pertinent, I want to know is there a way to "manuallly" catch the values stored in the PostBackData... i know abt _doPostback event, but then how to write a "generic" method which can keep track on the values of a desired control.
