Finding item in dropdownlist

[Morten Snedker]

When initializing form (form load) I have

lstRadiator.Items.FindByValue("5").Selected = True

So when the page is shown in the browser, why doesn't it show option
value #5 on the list? It just keep showing the first item ("999")...?

Looking the code from browser:

<select name="lstRadiator" id="lstRadiator"
title="Choose item" style="font-size:Smaller;width:115px;">
<option value="999">--Choose --</option>
<option value="1">De Longhi</option>
<option value="2">Demrad</option>
<option value="3">Eurorad</option>
<option value="16">Hudevad</option>
<option value="5">Ludvig</option>
<option value="6">Mari</option>
<option value="7">Purmo</option>
<option value="8">Rio</option>
<option value="12">Thor</option>
<option value="15">Veha</option>
<option value="1000">--&gt; Other &lt;--</option>

Morten,

Placing the following code into the Page_Load event seems to work properly
for me:

lstRadiator.Items.FindByValue("5").Selected = true;

The only difference in my code is that you are missing a runat="server"
attribute in your select element. Could this be your problem?

All is well. I tried to select from the list before anything was in
it. Somehow Microsoft still fails at meeting my shortcomings. ;-)

Thanks for your replay anyway!
