what permantly or just whilst the page is in that state? i.e. if you refresh the page does it show again? Have you got an onclick event for your dropdown?

check if you are refreshing the list. If so make sure to not do on a postback ie

if(!IsPostback)
{
//create list....
}

it remove it permanently.
