Jeremy, I would normally do this in the RemoteObject result handler for the data that contains the id that is the selection.
For instance let's say you have a ComboBox populated with a list of US States. You retrieve an Employee record from a datasource via Remoting, when that data is returned it would contain the state_id that you want selected out of the comboBox. Then you could call the code to select the correct state out of the ComboBox. Maury --- In [email protected], Jeremy Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Maury, > > Um. Thanks for that.
