<p>How would one put a stub entry at the top of a ddl list when the ddl is being populated via ControlDataSource (stored procedure)? </p> <p>The purpose is that I have a short script listening for the change event of the ddl, but it doesn't fire unless the list is changed (as expected). </p> <p>If the user wants to use the first item returned in the drop down, the change event never fires and hidden fields don't get updated. </p> <p>How do I work around this? any ideas? </p> <p>Thank you, </p> <p>Mark </p>
