Answer 1

After reading this solution, I just removed the AutoPostBack on my DropDownLists and used this because it was so simple:

$("#DropDownList1").change(function (e) {
    if ($(this).val() == "0") {
        //do nothing
    }
    else {
        //do postback
        setTimeout("__doPostBack('DropDownList1','')", 0);
    }
});

or if you have multiple DropDownLists you want to make AutoPostBack:

$("select").change(function (e) {
    if ($(this).val() == "0") {
        //do nothing
    }
    else {
        //do postback
        setTimeout("__doPostBack('" + this.id + "','')", 0);
    }
});
