{
                if (strValue != "" && strValue != null)
                {
                                var objTargetSelect = this._DSSelectElement.DSTarget;
                                if (objTargetSelect == null ) //|| objTargetSelect.length == 0
                                                return; 
                                for (var i = 0; i < objTargetSelect.length; i++)
                                {
                                                var strUniqueID = objTargetSelect[i].getAttribute("uniqueID");
                                                var dsObj = pega.ui.DSUtils_globals.htds.get(strUniqueID)
                                                if (ignoreIfAuto && dsObj.DS_getLoadMode() == LOADMODE_AUTO)
                                                {
                                                                //do nothing for now
                                                }
                                               else
                                                {
                                                                pega.ui.DSUtils.log(dsObj.getID() + ": called as a target. value = " + this._DS_Default);
                                                                if (dsObj._DS_dDisabled != true) {
                                                                                                pega.ui.DSUtils.numSelects++;
                                                                                                dsObj.loadElement(pega.ui.DSUtils.escapeString(strValue), false);
                                                                }
                                                }
                                }
                }
