Re: Dropdownlist and masterpage gibberish
That gibberish is the construction of the client ID for the element which is constructed using the hierarchy of the control on the page. You need to be less specific with your jQuery selector. You can do this using wildcard selectors: $([id$=ddlComponents]) This will select the element where the id ends with ddlComponents, that way if you change the location of this control on your page, your script will still function.

RE: Dropdownlist and masterpage gibberish
Yes - the control id is generated by sharepoint, consisting of the Guid assigned to the web part (I think) and some other details. So it will change between environments, site collections and even pages that the control is deployed to. The best bet is to find another way to refer to your control in the jQuery, for example by class, or by using a selection pattern where you select a div containing the dropdown, then the next 'select'. e.g. var dropDownCtrl = jQuery(select.drpDownClassName) or var dropdownCtrl = jQuery(div.divsClassName select) From: akhanna...@gmail.com Date: Wed, 3 Jul 2013 14:16:24 +1200 Subject: Dropdownlist and masterpage gibberish To: ozmoss@ozmoss.com Hi Guys, I am creating a custom user control in MOSS 2007 to save some values to database.

Re: Dropdownlist and masterpage gibberish
Thanks Guys, $([id$=ddlComponents]) looks great... Will try this soon... big relief Cheers Ajay On Wed, Jul 3, 2013 at 2:44 PM, Matthew Cosier cos...@gmail.com wrote: That gibberish is the construction of the client ID for the element which is constructed using the hierarchy of the control on the page.

Re: Dropdownlist and masterpage gibberish
You can also specify a static ID for the field in your aspx and use code behind to affect its behaviour, which I'd recommend. Using jQuery wildcards like the one above can become very problematic if other controls exist or need to be added later. If you HAVE to use jQuery then I would lock-down the order of the control(s) within the page rendering structure and target it using pseudo selectors such nth-child.
