Catch OnFocus and OnBlur of an ASP.NET Label

[Jim]

Can anyone help me, I'm trying to catch the OnFocus and OnBlur events
for an asp.net label. I want to change the forecolor of the label when
it is moused over, and then revert it back when the focus is taken
away. Thanks in advance for any help.

Jim, I am assuming you are wanting to do this client-side? If so, just
set the onmouseover and onmouseout events via the Attributes collection:

// C#
myLabel.Attributes["onmouseover"] = "this.style.color = 'blue';";
myLabel.Attributes["onmouseout"] = "this.style.color = 'black';";


I talk more about fiddling with client-side script through server-side
code in my article:

Scott, I tried your link but it doesn't bring up your page. Do you have an
recommendation fro a dropdownlist that I need to re-bind when a user clicks
on it? The issue is that I provide a pop-up so the user can add a new option,
but when they close the parent page's list is not updated. I can not refresh
the screen since that will erase the other selected field values, user's tend
to get upset when you do that . So if I re-bind the list to the contorl
then all the options are represented.

thanx.
