Suppose You’re assign the value from code behind to Hidden field
countryValue.Value = "India";
stateValue.Value = "Maharashtra";
cityValue.Value = "Mumbai";
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), "com", "CallJavaScriptFun();", true);
and then calling the javascript method…the above code is set from code behind…
function CallJavaScriptFun() {
var countryValue = document.getElementById('<% =countryValue.ClientID %>').value;//here you will get the value of hidden field and assign to client side id....in our case it should be "India" as Value
var country = document.getElementById('countryId');
country = countryValue;
var districtName = document.getElementById('<% =stateValue.ClientID %>').value;
var district = document.getElementById("stateId")
district.value = districtName;
var cityName = document.getElementById('<% =cityValue.ClientID %>').value;
var city = document.getElementById("cityId")
city.value = cityName;
}
All the hidden field countryValue,stateValue,cityValue are stored in
respectively variable…
and then assign to client side id….

How do I programmatically set the value of a select box element using JavaScript?
After Edit-
You have to put this javascript function into head part….check out this image…i have already tested it out…it’s working fine…

I am using the geodata API that gives me all countries,states,cities in the world in three different select Lists
.
These Lists
can not be server side. These Lists
take some time to load the options.
I wanna set a specific country, state and city from my C#
code behind as selected in the select Lists
.
I tried using clientScript
and scriptManager
in order to call a Javascript
function that will set the country, state and city as selected, yet both methods didn’t call the function. below is my code:
The select Lists
code:
<tr>
<td class="auto-style3" style="border-color: #FFFFFF; color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #000080;">
Country:</td>
<td class="auto-style3" style="border-color: #FFFFFF; color: #FFFFFF;">
<select id="countryId" class="countries order-alpha" name="country">
<option value="">Select Country</option>
</select>
<asp:HiddenField ID="countryValue" runat="server" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="auto-style3" style="border-color: #FFFFFF; color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #000080;">
District:</td>
<td class="auto-style3" style="border-color: #FFFFFF; color: #FFFFFF;">
<select id="stateId" class="states order-alpha" name="state">
<option value="">Select State</option>
</select>
<asp:HiddenField ID="stateValue" runat="server" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="auto-style3" style="border-color: #FFFFFF; color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #000080;">
City:
</td>
<td class="auto-style3" style="border-color: #FFFFFF; color: #FFFFFF;">
<select id="cityId" class="cities order-alpha" name="city">
<option value="">Select City</option>
</select>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="//geodata.solutions/includes/countrystatecity.js"></script>
<asp:HiddenField ID="cityValue" runat="server" />
</td>
</tr>
The Javascript function:
function fillCities(countryName, districtName, cityName)
{
var country = document.getElementById("countryId")
country.value = countryName;
var district = document.getElementById("stateId")
district.value = districtName;
var city = document.getElementById("cityId")
city.value = cityName;
}
</script>
I tried what you had suggested, but the RegisterStartupScript didnt call the javascript function for some reason.
im using a masterpage in this page, maybe that is the problem? i placed a breakpoint at the start of the javascript function, and it never activates
thanks! apparently the breakpoint i set at the beginning of the javascript function didn’t work, even though the function activated.
