Hi everybody,

I have a DropDown list. I have its value set to something else and the text set to the actual value. Now I'm having a problem to get this selected text back.

I tried

return this.ddlSchool.Items[this.ddlSchool.SelectedIndex].Text ;
// but it returns the original value, not the actual selected text

What could be the problem?

I also have onchange attribute set to

string script = "ChangePhone('" + this.lblSchoolPhone.ClientID + "', this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)"; 
                           
        this.ddlSchool.Attributes.Add("onchange", script);

Could it be that having onchange JavaScript event somehow interferes with the value? It should not be.

Any ideas welcomed because it's late and I need to get it done ASAP.

Thanks in advance.
