Hi,
I have a link wich passes the values selected from 3 dropdownlist boxes to another page by response.redirect.
(I am using asp.net, vb in dreamwaver)
There is anoter button in the page that is gonne be triggered by pressing Enter key so I don't want to use a buttton for these boxes, can anyone help me with this Please?

Here is a sample of what I have done:

<asp:DropDownList ID="oSkill" DataTextField="SkillType" runat="server" />
<asp:DropDownList ID="oLocation" DataTextField="City" runat="server" />
<asp:DropDownList ID="oJobType" DataTextField="JobType" runat="server" />
<A HREF???????????I don't know how to pass response.redirect to <a> tag or any other option?

here is the response.redirect:

Response.Redirect("result.aspx?oLocation=" & oLocation.SelectedItem.Text & _
"&oSkill=" & oSkill.SelectedItem.Text & _
"&oJobType=" & oJobType.SelectedItem.Text)

Many Thanks

You don't have to pass the response.redirect to a tag, use a link button and in the onclick event, then response.redirect. If you want a link to contain the values of the drop-down list, then you have to alter the hyperlink (use hyperlink web control) navigate url property. Each drop-down list, when the selected index is changed, then would alter this property with the corresponding value.

Hope I'm on the right track?

Hi Brian,
You might be on the right track but I am not sure if I am getting it...

I did use a button and onclick event which called a function and that function passed the values of 3 dropdown boxes to the correct page.... the problem is there are other controls in the page(many text boxes, listitems,...)and there is a submit button for them but there is this problem with browsers that when you click enter key then the first button in the page will be processed so I decided to use a heyperlink to pass the values of only these three dropdown boxes to another page (result.aspx page).
I have tried heyperlink and navigate url but again didn't know how to 'place' response.redirect there...I get error message...
..mmmm...not happy.....

Hmm, for a hyperlink, you can't use response.redirect. I don't even think you can use a click event for hyperlink. I don't know now you can make the second button trigger first; maybe try specifying a tabindex for all the parameters and give that button the lowest tab order value... I don't know if that will work. To use a hyperlink requires string manipulation. Whenever a drop-down list is changed, the selectedindexchanged property would parse the NavigateURL property (using Regex most likely) and replace the old text with the new text. Then when clicked on, it redirects not using response.redirect.
