[manavsm]

i want to change the default value of dropdown list to 0 i.e selected index value shud become 0 when press the cancel button so that watever i selected previously is removed

here is the javsacript

function CloseDiv() {
            var control = document.getElementById("divReqStages");
            control.style.visibility = "hidden";
            
                  var control1 = document.getElementById('DDLReqStages').selectedIndex;
                    
      control1.value='0';
         
        }

here s asp.net code

<input type="button" name="btnCancel" style="font-size: xx-small" onclick="JavaScript:CloseDiv();" value="Cancel" />

The above will select the first OPTION in the SELECT list. IF you want NO option selected, then use -1 instead of zero

I don't understand what you are describing. IF you have a link to a test page or a copy of your code, it might make help.
