In my web application there is a dropdown list that will show confirm box while changing the listitem . I have added title for each listitem

eg :

OnSelectedIndexChanged="myddl_SelectedIndexChanged" >

--select--

AAA

BBB

How can I show the title of these selected item on confirm box?

thanks inadvance

Hi,

If it is inside gridview, then you have to pass id of dropdown to function like below -

onchange="Confirm(this.id)"

And script will be changed like below -
Using JQuery -
function Confirm(id) {
var title = $('#'+id).find(":selected").attr('title');
alert(title);
}

Using Javascript -
function Confirm(id) {
var e = document.getElementById(id);
var title = e.options[e.selectedIndex].getAttribute("title");
alert(title);
}

Hi,

Please try below script -

Using JQuery -
function Confirm() {
    var title = $('#myddl').find(":selected").attr('title');
    alert(title);
}

Using Javascript -

           var e = document.getElementById("myddl");
           var title = e.options[e.selectedIndex].getAttribute("title");
           alert(title);
       }

Is it not showing the title which you used for the values in dropdown ie.ABC or EFG?
