Hi,

I have a couple of combo boxes - one having years and the other having months. I want the application to automatically select the current year option and the current option from the respective combo boxes when the page loads.

I have tried this code but it doesnt work:

<select class="select" name="txtsalmonth">
<option value="1">January</option>
<option value="2">February</option>
<option value="3">March</option>
<option value="4" <% if(DateTime.Now.month = 4) then response.write("selected") end if%>>April</option>
<option value="5">May</option>
<option value="6">June</option>
<option value="7">July</option>
<option value="8">August</option>
<option value="9">September</option>
<option value="10">Octobet</option>
<option value="11">November</option>
<option value="12">December</option>
</select>

Could you please help?

You should be putting code like this in the page code-behind.

In page load, set the DDL's (there are no combo boxes in standard HTML) selected item to the current month:

If Not IsPostBack Then 'You should probably do this, otherwise a change by the user will be overwritten.
   txtsalmonth.SelectedIndex = DateTime.Now.month - 1 'You need to substract 1 for the 0 based DDL index.
End If

Hi Peter,

I have written the as below:

    <select class="select" name="txtsalmonth">
                   <option value="1">January</option>
                   <option value="2">February</option>
                   <option value="3">March</option>
                   <option value="4">April</option>
                   <option value="5">May</option>
                   <option value="6">June</option>
                   <option value="7">July</option>
                   <option value="8">August</option>
                   <option value="9">September</option>
                   <option value="10">Octobet</option>
                   <option value="11">November</option>
                   <option value="12">December</option>
                   </select>
                   <% If Not IsPostBack Then
                       txtsalmonth.SelectedIndex = DateTime.Now.Month - 1
                       End If
                   %>


I am having error:

txtsalmonth not decalred.

I am bit confused on this.

I didn't catch in your first post that it was raw HTML.

Why are you writing raw HTML in (what I can only assume is) an ASP.NET application? You should using a <asp:dropdownlist ... > server control. Then your codebehind will work against that.
