UltraWebGrid v 6.2  and .Net 2.0 

I have a dropdownlist that is created and filled in the codebehind.  I also have the first line/index blank, which is also inserted in the codebehind.

Currently, upon enter, it goes to index 0. This happened before and after I inserted the blank at the index 0.  Prior to inserting the blank, index 0 is what I wanted, but now that it is blank, I want it to go to index 1, which actually contains a value. 

How can I have the second row (index 1) be the selected value by default when the user enters the cell (if blank) of the dropdownlist?

Is there a property to set or do I have to use javascript?

Thanks!
