[Solved] Using Javascript select() doesn't seem to work

[Mark]

Hi

I'm having trouble selecting an item in a combobox using Javascript.

cboAddrCountry.findItemByText('Australia').select();


It seems to find the text okay, however the select() throws back 'undefined' and as such it always points to index zero.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?


Kind regards

Hello Mark,

I have tried exactly the same thing and it worked as expected. Please examine the attached page and test it.

Is it possible that you do something else in the client-side code, which causes this error?

Sincerely yours,

Hi Simon

I was doing something just before I selected an item. In the support project you gave me if you were to add the following Javscript line:

    combo.disable();

.. just before ...

    combo.findItemByText("Item2").select();

...it won't work.


I disabled the combobox afterwards it works nicely.


Thanks for you assistance.


Kind regards

Hello Mark,

Disabling RadComboBox stops it from functioning completely, hence selecting an Item after that will not work.

Try first selecting the Item and then disabling the ComboBox.
