Question

I have to assign the value in a repeater column in such a way that upon assignment, the value in the repeater column becomes the current selection in the drop down.

I have the correct value to assign in $('#myname_' + rowIndex).text(), but when I assign this value to the id.value of the dropdown – as shown below – the assignment has no effect. What am I doing wrong.

$("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_myname").value = $('#myname_' + rowIndex).text();

Answer 1

Use:

$("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_myname").val($('#myname_' + rowIndex).text());

Or

 $("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_myname")[0].value = $('#myname_' + rowIndex).text();
