I think I am very close. Below code is working. I am passing the value of selectedindex in dd as onchange event from the drop down. setDropdown is my onload event. If I hard code it, it works, but if I use
document.getElementById('ParmMonth').options.selectedIndex = cookiedValue, it doesnt.

Any ideas.
Thanks,
Dhruv


function setDropDown()
{
document.getElementById('ParmMonth').options.selectedIndex = 2
alert("set" & cookiedValue)
}

function changeDropDown(dd)
{

cookiedValue = dd
alert("dD");
alert(dd);
alert("value");
alert(cookiedValue);
}
