In my pageI need to have the option to auto select a drop down menu that is generated by SQL code.  Does anyone know how I can do this?

The next part is that that drop down menu is sposed to fire an on change event that will populate a second drop down menu using JavaScript, How would I fire this event or would it just fire itself after it has been selected with the query string?

Thanks for any help,

Xana

After a DDL has been populated by data, you can select a specific item in the list, using the DataBound event of the DDL
