I have a web page that when displayed in IE6 the select boxes won't allow you to scroll thru them until they get focus - then loose focus. There's 3 select boxes that allow multiple selections. The Option tags are filled with asp connected to an access table. This works good. One of the select boxes fill 3/4 of the IE window - it has a long line. Here's the code. <select name="sltFraudSmart" size="7" multiple id="select3"> <option value=""></option> <%rsCourses.MoveFirst Do WHILE (NOT rsCourses.EOF) IF (rsCourses("courseType")= 1)THEN%> <option value="<%response.write(rsCourses("courseName"))%>"> <%response.write(rsCourses("courseName")) END IF rsCourses.MoveNext LOOP%></select> When the page loads and if you try and scroll thru any of the 3 select boxes using the scrollbar on the right - it won't move. I can use the wheel in my mouse and it will scroll. When I click off the box then go to select again - sometimes the scrollbar on the right works and sometimes not. Any ideas? Thanks
Hi Jess, I've noticed that there is sometimes a problem with scrolling selects if there are a large number of options. I'm not sure if there's a solution to the problem however. I'm assuming you're talking about Internet Explorer, though you didn't mention which browser the problem is happening in. Also, I couldn't help noticing that you're not supplying the closing tag for your options, which you might want to get into the habit of doing.
