Question

I have a radiobuttonlist with a selectedindexchanged event that updates a search function. One of the items is specified in the aspx, and the others are appended databound items. No matter what I set as the default, that item will not fire the event. All other items will fire the event. Also, it seems that after the “dead” item is selected, the event won’t fire at all.

How can I track down the error and correct? Here is current code.

EDIT: Sorry if the short version was misleading. I wasn’t sure what to include. Here is the whole page.

All aspx:

Answer 1

Does this RadioButtonList specified as AsyncPostBackTrigger for another UpdatePanel? If so, check following link: CheckedChanged event not firing on a radio button within UpdatePanel

I have reproduce that behaviour and fix this with the following script:

 $(function () {
        $("input[type='radio']:first", $("#<%= RadioButtonList1.ClientID %>")).attr("checked", true);
    });

if you can’t use the jQuery try this javascript:

 window.onload = function () {
        window.document.getElementById("<%= RadioButtonList1.ClientID %>_0").checked = true;
    };


protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!IsPostBack)
        {
            ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "RadioButtonListDefaultValue", String.Format("window.document.getElementById('{0}_0').checked = true;", RadioButtonList1.ClientID), true);
        }
    }
