Hi Sonia,

Please try the following code snippet that I tried to set an item as selected in JavaScript.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadDropDownList ID="RadDropDownList1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"
    DefaultMessage="select" DataTextField="Cityname" AutoPostBack="true">
</telerik:RadDropDownList>
<telerik:RadButton ID="RadButton1" runat="server" Text="Set Item" OnClientClicked="OnClientClicked">
</telerik:RadButton>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:NorthwindConnectionString %>"
    SelectCommand="SELECT [Cityname] FROM [City]">
</asp:SqlDataSource>

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientClicked(sender, args) {
        var dropdownlist = $find("<%=RadDropDownList1.ClientID %>");
        dropdownlist.findItemByText("Chennai").set_selected(true);
    }
</script>

Thanks,
Princy.
