Hi That is because inside gridview your dropdown id's change. So you have to give a class for your dropdown and use below script - $(document).ready(function () { $([id$=btnSave]).click(function () { var flag = 1; $('.gridviewdropdownclass').each(function () { if ($('#' + this.id).val() == 0) { flag = 0; } }); if (flag != 0) { //Selected option from dropdownlist return true; } else { //Not selected so alert user to select any option alert('Please select Sales Person Name'); return false; } }); }); Attached a sample file for the same.
