Question

I have a master page that has a usercontrol on the left side of the page with a dropdown. When the user selects a value from the dropdown I need to load a different aspx page. The new page has a similar (but not the same) looking usercontrol on the left and different content on the right. How can I do this? Also, when the new page is loaded the dropdown must remember its selection.

Not sure if you want to use Javascript. If you do, then try this JQuery method.

// Only load once page is fully loaded.

$(function()
{
  // Assume that the dropdownlist's id is TheList
  $('#TheList').change(function(e){
    var target = $(this).val();
    if(target.length > 0)
    {
       // go to new URL
       window.location.replace("http://www.locationurl.com/"+target);
    }
  });
});
