Alper,

Sorry about that. I forgot to switch it from some of my code I copy and
pasted. It's pretty simple really. Just switch value to text.

this.options[this.selectedIndex].text

Hi.. I want to know a way to write a text in a textbox and find the item in a dropdownlist and put it in the top of the list? thanks...

I have just used this method in one of my .net project. u just add this method in ur .js file and call this from ur aspx page.

function SearchItem(textbox, dropdown, chk)
{
if(chk)
{
for(var i=0; i<=dropdown.length; i++)
{
if(textbox.value == dropdown[i].value)
{
dropdown[i].selected = true;
break;
}
}
}
else
textbox.value = dropdown.value;
}

in controls page add this property in ur aspx page:
<asp:TextBox ID="txt" runat="server" MaxLength="20" OnBlur="javascript:SearchItem(<%=txt.ClientID %>,<%=ddl.ClientID %>,true);"></asp:TextBox>
<aspropDownList ID="ddl" runat="server" onchange="javascript:SearchItem(<%=txt.ClientID %>,<%=ddl.ClientID %>);" />

Html.DropDownList("selItemsPerPage1", Model.Items, new
{
onchange = "alert($('#selItemsPerPage1 option:selected').val());"
}
