I am having trouble setting a default value for my database driven drop down.

i've tried

none of these seem to work in setting the default when the screen loads

So, you have something else set, but you are trying to change it in your onload event?

The database process to load the widget has already begun running when your onload has fired, so changing the properties there won't affect it unless you also re-render (aka "re-run" the database process) after you've changed the properties.

You'd do this with: Setting the widget type (even if it is to the same type of widget) will cause it to re-render.
