Hi S. Ramesh,

Take a look at this: OnTextChanged ="sayHi();"

You're mixing up client side and server side stuff. OnTextChanged is a server side event that fires at the server when the text in the text box has changed. However, sayHi is a client side function. The compiler tries to find a server side method called sayHi which doesn't exist, hence the error you get.

There are a few ways to fix this:

1. Change OnTextChanged to onchange. onchange is a client side HTML attribute that causes a client side function to be called when the text box is changed. .NET will see that onchange is not a server side event, so it won't look for sayHi.

2. Alternatively, you can manually add the onchange behavior to the text box in the Page_Load event:

TextBox1.Attributes.Add("onchange", "sayHi();")

Hope this helps,

Imar

Imar:

Excellent solution - I searched for an hour for a nearly identical problem and your advice was dead-on. Thanks!
