  1. POGet field from SQL Server Reporting Services Page
    text
    copied!<p>I'm trying to access a drop down box from a page created by SQL Server Reporting Services using JavaScript. I would normally just getElementById but the the id and name attributes for the drop down element are generated by the server so I don't want to use that to reference the element. i.e. If the design of the page changes in the future it'll name that elements _ct105 or _ct107</p> <p>The only thing I specify on the page is the label "Business Period." I was thinking of using xpath to reference that span then use a relative location to the next select element but I can't figure out how to do that.</p> <p>Ideally, I'd be able to specify the id or name (or any other attribute) of the Select element itself. Is this possible?</p> <p>I'll be using jQuery on the page so if anyone can think of a good way to find it that way it'd be great.</p> <pre><code>&lt;tr IsParameterRow="true"&gt; &lt;td class="ParamLabelCell"&gt; &lt;span&gt;Business Period&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="ParamEntryCell" style="padding-right:0px;"&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;select name="ctl140$ctl00$ctl03$ddValue" id="ctl140_ctl00_ctl03_ddValue"&gt; &lt;!-- This is the select box I want --&gt; &lt;option value="0"&gt;&amp;lt;Select&amp;nbsp;a&amp;nbsp;Value&amp;gt;&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="1"&gt;Customer&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="2"&gt;Previous&amp;nbsp;Week&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="3"&gt;Current&amp;nbsp;Week&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="4"&gt;Next&amp;nbsp;Week&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt; </code></pre>
