You can insert an item in the DataSet before data binding, or insert an item in the combo box after data binding. --- single minded; short sighted; long gone;

I am trying to execute a client side JavaScript function to send a page to a particular frame location. This is how I am doing it: On the page being loaded, I have the following form definition: I need the LoadMenuBar function to execute (on the client). So I removed the runat=”server” property form the form element. Everything seems to run OK, except the LoadMenuBar function does not execute when the form is loaded. This is the LoadMenuBar function: function LoadMenuBar() { alert("Got Here"); window.parent.parent.DisplayMenuBar.location = "menu_bar.aspx"; return; } This script code is inserted in the page that gets loaded. I guess my question is, why is the LoadMenuBar function not being executed? Thanks, Vern

kryzchek: Thanks for the code. This code and other code I got from this site was very helpful. Thanks again, Vern

I guess that's my problem, then; I'm using the Student Edition (I believe) of VS.NET 2002. Thanks for your help anyway, I'll just make do with the CLI compilers for now. A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep, or taste not, the Pierian Spring. —Alexander Pope

Luc: Thanks for the response. I did finally end up using some code that used MessageBoxButtons and MessageBoxIcon variables. Thanks again. Vern

I do believe I know what your talking about. I remember working on a project where I know I had an event handler and one day it was just gone. Now I know it was not my imagination. Thanks again.

Vandra: Thanks for the tip about the datagrid.Validate(). I put this in the Scroll event of the datagrid and this solved the problem I was having. Let me try to explain the problem I was having again: First I resize the datagrid so that the scroll bars show up. Then I scroll around the datagrid. Finally I resize the Datagrid so that it fills the screen. Now when I scroll again, the grid is messed up. Some columns appear twice, some don’t appear at all, its just really messed up. Anyway, when I put the Datagrid.Invalidate() in the Scroll event, all is well. Thanks again for your help. Vern Vern

You really identified the problem. Once I set the aDataSet table name to "Employee", everything suddenly works. I spent days working on this problem and got so frustrated. I am so thankful for your tip. Such a little detail can make such a difference. Thanks again for your help. Vern
