selectedindex

[Sona]

I've a dropdownlist like <BR><asp:dropdownlist id="programID1" runat="server" Width="98" AutoPostBack="True" OnSelectedIndexChanged="programID1_SelectedIndexChanged"><BR><asp:ListItem Selected=""></asp:ListItem><BR><asp:ListItem value=http://aspmessageboard.com/archive/index.php/"a">a</asp:ListItem><BR><asp:ListItem value="b">b</asp:ListItem><BR></asp:dropdownlist><BR><BR>when i set selectedindex programatically, the selectedindexchanged even is never fired. It fires only when i select using mouse/keyboard. I'm setting the selectedindex using Javascript code.<BR><BR>programID1.selectedIndex = 4;Try programID1.Items.FindByValue("a").Selected = true
