title: Change selected value of asp.net dropdownlist without trigging postback
body: <p>How can I change the selected value of an asp.net dropdownlist without a trigging a postback?</p>
  
  <p>I have tried setting the autopostback to false, but the "selected" attribute on the option don't change when selecting another option in the dropdownlist.</p>
  
  <p>I've seen some examples using an updatepanel and I've tried this with success, but due to other javascript and jquery functions on the page I can't use this without having a lot of trouble with other functions..</p>
  
  <p><strong>CODE UPDATE</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;asp:DropDownList ID="USERS" DataTextField="NAME" DataValueField="ID" runat="server"
                       Width="150px"&gt;
      &lt;/asp:DropDownList&gt;
  </code></pre>
