How to get selected value of a html select with asp.net

Question

I have code below:

<select id="testSelect">     <option value="1">One</option>     <option value="2">Two</option> </select> <asp:Button ID="btnTest" runat="server" Text="Test it!" onclick="btnTest_Click" /> 

I need to get selected options' value on postback. How can I do this with asp.net?

Answer 1

You need to add a name to your <select> element:

<select id="testSelect" name="testSelect"> 

It will be posted to the server, and you can see it using:

Request.Form["testSelect"]
