Event Handling in Abstract Portal Component

Question

Hi Friends,
I am using HTMLB Classlib in an Abstract Portal Component to develop a Dropdownlistbox. Now I want to handle the event of change of selection in this dropdown. However, this event is not getting captured. Sample code is as follows:
public class dropdownsimple extends AbstractPortalComponent
                       public void onClick(Event event)
                       public void doContent(IPortalComponentRequest request, IPortalComponentResponse response)
                                                IPageContext myContext1 = PageContextFactory.createPageContext(request, response);
          Form myForm = myContext1.createFormDocument("CRMForm");
          GridLayout myGrid = new GridLayout();
          DropdownListBox drp = new DropdownListBox("drp");
          drp.addItem("Key 1","Item 1");
          drp.addItem("Key 2","Item 2");
          drp.setOnSelect("onClick");
                                                 myGrid.addComponent(1, 1, drp);
          myForm.addComponent(myGrid);
          myContext1.render();
I am able to see the dropdown box along with values when I preview the PAR iView created from this component. Please let me know how to capture the event of change of selection in the dropdown?

Hi,
Change this line
drp.setOnSelect("onClick");
to
drp.setOnSelect("click");
and leave the line
public void onClick(Event event)
as it is, and it should work just fine.
I.e., if you name your event "fooBar", the event handler should be named "onFooBar"
