Two DropDownLists in this same site

Question

I have got two DropDownLists. I want when I set in one value it should change in secound DropDownList the vales. Please Help.

Always the values should look like updated.

Answer 1

I would use jQuery for that..

      <input id='dd1' onchange="setval()" />

      <script type="text/javascript">
      Function setval(){
            $("#dd2").val( $("#dd1").val() );
      }

Answer 2

I do this by ASP.NET. Here is a code :)

        protected void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        DropDownList3.SelectedIndex = (DropDownList1.SelectedIndex-1);
    }

    protected void DropDownList3_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        DropDownList1.SelectedIndex = (DropDownList3.SelectedIndex+1);
    }

Answer 3

You can achieve this functionality in SharePoint forms using the SPServices open source library.

The SPCascadeDropdowns function lets you set up cascading dropdowns on SharePoint forms. What this means is that you can enforce hierarchical relationships between column values.

Here's some documentation for it: link

If you just need an ASP.Net way of doing it, then you can do it by updating the datasource of dropdown2 in the dropdown1_OnSelectedIndexChanged server method. Here's an in-depth example for this: link
