Hello friends,

Just check this link...

Here, when we select city, then a special list box like control opens, which shows all the cities alphabetically.
How it is possible?

Tell me some sample or other about it.

thanks.

Edited for Grammar, Readability and Link.

I just visited that site and what I did NOT observe was any alphabetical order at all. Could it be your alphabet is not ordered from A-z?

Also you can use jQuery with many UI plugins or Ajax Control Toolkit where there are many extenders to improove User Interface.

Poplating a listbox in ASP.NET is easy, see here[^].

What you have in that page, though, is a script to do the same.
Tha is, the text box is populated as per normal, but onmousehover calls a (I think) php script to show the options rather than a standard listbox.

This[^] may help you too.

when we select city then a special list box like control open ...
which show all the cities alphabetically...

They are just showing up a div on city select event. In the div, the cities are already populated in alphabetical order.

You just need to show/hide a div on the onkeydown event on city textbox. Try!

What alphabetical order?

Sandeep Mewara 24-Mar-11 9:54am

In a div, a list there is ordered in a table of few 3-4 columns...
