Place the default list item for the dropdown "drp_edition". Since,you are assigned the selectedindex=0 in reset fn. There should some list item in this case.

<td class="style4">
<asp:DropDownList ID="drp_edition" runat="server" ValidationGroup="a" Width="120px"      
onselectedindexchanged="drp_edition_SelectedIndexChanged" AutoPostBack="true" TabIndex="0">
<asp:ListItem Text="--Select--" Value="0" />
</asp:DropDownList>
</td>
<td class="style4">
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator7" runat="server"           
ControlToValidate="drp_edition" ErrorMessage="*" ForeColor="Red" InitialValue="0"    
ValidationGroup="a"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
</td>

Do one thing on your aspx.cs page add a ListItem to dropdown with value 0 like

<asp:DropDownList ID="drp_edition" runat="server" ValidationGroup="a" 
                Width="120px" onselectedindexchanged="drp_edition_SelectedIndexChanged" 
                AutoPostBack="true" TabIndex="0">
                <asp:ListItem Value="0" Text="Select" ></asp:ListItem>
            </asp:DropDownList>

It will solve your problem.

Hope it works.
