I have several dropdownlists on my page. The first works as expected and populated the the datasets for the other two and displays them on the screen.

My issue arises once I make a selection from the 2nd and 3rd dropdownlists. It appears that the onSelectedIndexChanged method is not firing.....

<asp:Label ID="Label3" runat="server" Text="Study Selection"></asp:Label>  <br />    <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList3" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" onSelectedIndexChanged="displayDefinitions" ><br />    </asp:DropDownList>          <asp:Label <br />        ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Row Selection" Visible="False"></asp:Label>  <br />    <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" Visible="false" onSelectedIndexChanged="nextStep"  ><br />    </asp:DropDownList>          <asp:Label <br />        ID="Label2" runat="server" Text="Column Selection" Visible="False"></asp:Label>  <br />    <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList2" runat="server" Visible="false" onSelectedIndexChanged="nextStep" ><br />    </asp:DropDownList><br />


DropDownList3 works fine.
DropDownList1 and DropDownList2 do not. I can make a selection, but the underlying code is not called.

I'm sure it's going to be something deceptively simple, but I'm just not seeing it.
Thanks for any help offered.

Set AutoPostBack true for DropDownList1 and DropDownList2 as you did in DropDownList3 as below
<br /><asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" Visible="false" AutoPostBack="True" onSelectedIndexChanged="nextStep"  ></asp:DropDownList><br /><br /><asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList2" runat="server" Visible="false" AutoPostBack="True" onSelectedIndexChanged="nextStep"  ></asp:DropDownList><br /><br />
