Hi!

I am making a datepicker using asp.net, c sharp.  This datepicker has
two drop dropdown list for month and year.  It is set to autopostback
true so after selecting a month or a year, the calendar will refresh in
accordance to the choices.  When I am testing this using firefox, I
have no problems, but if i am using internet explorer, the list does
not stay open. After clicking, it closes in a split second.  I am not
able to choose from the dropdown list.  Are their settings in IE that I
have to modify, additional code to add, etc.  I appreciate all your
help.

Thank you.

hi, I do not know of any issues regarding the dropdownlist in asp.net. It'd
be easier if you provided some code. Also, the viewsource of your page in IE
after it renders in the browser will be helpful. To make things simpler on
yourself, try to start off with a small test involving 1 dropdownlist with a
few values and take it from there. If you are able to reproduce this on a
simple test like that, its is going to be easier to help you.

Hi!

Thank you for your time Alessandro.

Below is the html code of my date picker:
<body onblur="this.window.focus();" ms_positioning="FlowLayout">
        <form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">

The weird thing is I tried removing all of the code and just left the
controls and it the bug is still there.  It seems that the browser is
refreshing all the time because I can't even select the address bar.
The view source in firefox is clean but the view source in IE has a
bunch of garbage code which I don't know how it happened.  The
following is a few sample of the view source in IE:

It looks like it's having a loop of some sort.  Thank you very much for
your help.

hi, there is nothing wrong with IE or firefox. It just happens that you have
wired an event to the body element which is not supported in firefox and it
gets simply ignored. while IE fires the event, though looking through the
events onblur does not seem to be supported on the body element, regardless
IE fires it and you get that awkward behaviour. Basically when you select
the dropdownlist, the dropdownlist gets the focus, causing the body elements
onblur to fire since it lost the focus. This is what is happening in IE.
What is the purpose of the onblur event you hooked up to the body element ?


Replace : <body onblur="this.window.focus();"> with <body> and it will work.

It looks like it's having a loop of some sort.  Thank you very much for
your help.

Hi!

Thanks for the help Alessandro.  It works fine now.  The reason I used
the onblur event is  to turn the popup window into a modal dialog box,
preventing the user to go back to the main window.  I did not know that
when I add drop down lists that this bug will occur.

Thanks again.  I really appreciate the help.
