title: asp.net dropdown displaying incorrectly in chrome
body: <p>I have asp.net web forms page that has a asp.net dropdownlist control on it with an autopostback.  When a user makes a selection in the drop down a get request is made to the same page with a query string parameter.</p>
  
  <p>On postback I read the query string parameter and load / populate additional controls.  </p>
  
  <p>When a user presses the browsers back button the previous request is submitted (along with its query string).  In the code behind I read the query string and load / populate additional controls, which works fine.  I also try to select the appropriate item in the drop down (by value).  </p>
  
  <p>The issue I am seeing in the browser is that appropriate option <strong>text</strong> is not shown in the select.  By inspecting the source I can see the the correct option has the selected="selected" attribute, so setting the selected item in the code behind was successful.  But the text is incorrectly still the same as before the back button was pressed.</p>
  
  <p>Curiously this only happens in chrome. ie and firefox both behave as expected. </p>
  
  <p>Has anyone had any issues with asp.net drop down lists and chrome?</p>
  
  <p>I'm stumped here.</p>
  
  <p>I have created a simple example that demonstates this problem.  src can be found at <a href="https://github.com/beembow/AspDotNetDropDownInChrome.git" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/beembow/AspDotNetDropDownInChrome.git</a></p>
  
  <p>Reproduce the error by selecting some values in drop down then pressing back button.</p>
