How do you dynamically populate either a <select id="states" 
runat="server"> or <asp:DropDownList id="states"> control
in the EditItemTemplate of a DataList control?

Basically, the user clicks an "Edit" button which fires
the Sub MyDataList_Edit() event for a datalist. Then
I want to allow the user to select his current address state
from a drop-down list which defaults to his current state.

I read somewhere that the <select> and <asp:DropDownList>
controls are not supported in the DataList templates while
simple contols like textboxes are.

With a textbox control you use the 
 <input id="schCity" type="text" value='<%# DataBinder.Eval
(Container.DataItem,"city") %>' size="51" maxlength="50" 
runat="server" /></td> syntax to populate the control from 
a data table.

How do you accomplish the same thing using either the <Select>
or <asp:DropDownList> controls?



Thanks,
Dallas Martin
