I'm trying to remove the default value selected in a drop-down box.

The call to the function is this: onchange="javascript:Remove_Default_Value(this);"

Here is the function: 

function Remove_Default_Value(DROPDOWN) {
 var i = DROPDOWN.options.length - 1;  
 for ( i; i >= 0; i--)   
 {  
  DROPDOWN(i).defaultSelected = false;
 }  
}

The error I'm getting is "DROPDOWN is not a function".

Any ideas is greatly appreciated.

It is not a function, but an array and you also need to use getElementsByTagName()

function Remove_Default_Value(DROPDOWN) {
 var i = DROPDOWN.getElementsByTagName("option").length - 1;  
 for ( i; i >= 0; i-- )   
 {  
  DROPDOWN.getElementsByTagName("option")[i].defaultSelected = false;
 }  
}
