@ sandeep.
Thanks a lot for your solution and it is working for me. But I am facing a
small problem : When I choose a option from the drop down list and later
change my mind and try to select a different value , I cannot do that
because after the first selection, it is not showing other values.Any
insight on this ? Thanks.
