Set Select Control's Value from Querystring

[j.t.w]

This is probably very easy.

How do I set an HTML select control's value from the querystring?

This is what I have...but, only the select control's value doesn't get
set.
CustomerSelect. Value = Request.QuerySt ring("cus")
StartDate.Text = Request.QuerySt ring("Sdate")

This works...
StartDate.Text = Request.QuerySt ring("cus")

Thanks,
j.t.w

Re: Set Select Control's Value from Querystring

If you just want a dropdown, consider the server controls rather than HTML
controls and then set selected value to the key value you wish. I can look
at the HTML control and probably guide there, but the server controls are
fairly straightforward .

Re: Set Select Control's Value from Querystring

Try setting the SelectedValue or SelectedText properties.
