I think you are mixing two things here, i recommend you or you use javascript or c#, I see you have the selectedIndexChange method so your dropdownlist goes like this.

<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlType" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" OnSelectedIndexChanged="ddlType_SelectedIndexChanged" />

Now your page load is fine but within your selectedindexchanged method just do this

txtrate.Text = ddlType.SelectedItem.Value;

if you really need the javascript version let me know.
