Passing a variable in the onLoad event.

I have a data grid with multiple rows. Each row has a drop down box. I need
it to select the correct item for each row. What I am trying to figure out,
is can I pass a value to the onLoad event for the dropdownlist?

OnLoad="loadDefault(Container.DataItem("dropValue"))"Are you trying to put a selected index?

I know the value of the selectedIndex, and that is what I'm trying to
select.

Just set the selected index in the code behind: myDropDown.SelectedIndex =
intSelectedIndex
