Option List
In IE, the code below results in a select box with "Mow Requested" as the selected item. In Firefox, it doesn't - the select is displayed, but the initial selected item isn't set. I can get it to initialize using JavaScript (documents.forms.formname.itemname.value=5) but that isn't a practical option for this application.

In the vb.net codebehind, I need to extract something from the Text (displayed) value of dropdownlist's selected item and I have  the SelectedValuand and SelectedItem in hand. How can I do this?  FindControl? Item? row?   Thanks. Well, its easier than you might think. SelectedItem has a "text" property. Thats the selected text right there :)  If you need the Text of the selection, then you have to use the SelectedItem.Text property.  If you want the value (not the displayed text) the you can directly use the SelectedValue. dim sText as String = dropdown...
