Hello Peter,

I would suggest you try the select() method of the dropdown item: http://help.infragistics.com/Doc/ASPNET/2013.1/CLR4.0/?page=WebDropDown~Infragistics.Web.UI.DropDownItem~select.html

ddl.get_items().getItem(3).select();

This should set the item as selected.

Let me know if this helps.

Hi Nikolay,

   I'm having the same problem and when I try your soution it only updating the texbox and the highlighted item is still the previous selected.

kind regards

Peter Tabangan

Hi marenas,

You can do this using the following code:

var ddl = $find("WebDropDown1");
var value = ddl.get_items().getItem(3).get_text();
ddl.get_items().getItem(3).set_selected(true);
ddl.set_currentValue(value);

Let me know if this helps.

How can I assign a value to a webdropdown in javascript?

 or select a value from the list, this is bind to sqldatasource.

in the codebehind I solved using

webdropdown.ValueField="01";

webdropdown.TextField="01";

But I need a solution for javascript.

thank you.
