DropDownList Selected Item not displaying

Hi there,

I have a curious problem.
I have DropDownList that gets bound to datatable during PreRender.
Straight after binding I set the SelectedValue of the DropDownList.

When the page is rendered no value is selected in the list.

Here is the kicker though: When I check the HTML source, the rendered
HTML is as it should be. ie. The SELECT control has the correct OPTION
element with selected="selected". But on the screen no item in the list
is selected.

This is driving me crazy!!

Any ideas would be great...
