I have a div , within which I have a button and an asp.net dropdownlist. I see that the dropdownlist value doesnt change. ie. If I select 30 from the dropdownlist, the selected val

Solution 1:

You have AutoPostBack set against the drop down list. Having that set means it's posting back and refreshing the control which causes the default value to be selected.

Solution 2:

<asp:button Id=" btnConfigureAlerts" runat="Server" OnClientClick="ViewModelPopup2()"></asp:button>

function ViewModelPopup2() {
        $("#ViewModalPopupDiv2").dialog({
                scrollable: true,
                width: 800,
                modal: true
            });
        };
