I wrote a function to populate my dropdowns on the client-side.
The function adds <optionelemen ts to the <selectonly if none are
initially present.
I call the population function from either the onfocus or onclick event of
the <selectas follows :
onclick="popula teDropdown(this );return true;"
It works in Firefox.
In IE, the dropdown is populated but the default handler for the click event
is not invoked, thus requiring the user to click the dropdown twice : once
to populate it and once to drop it down.
Does anyone know what is going on and a workaround for what appears to be an
IE bug ? 5 2033
Why don't you just return true in populateDropdow n and call it as
onclick="return populateDropdow n(this)"?

John,
I would pre-populate the dropdowns before User clicks on them, say when the
page is loaded, but if you need to wait until User decides to use your
control, you can try to work around the IE issue by placing the following (or
similar) code in onmousemove event:
<select onmousemove='pr ePopulate(this) ' ...
<script ...
function prePopulate(ddn ){
if (ddn.options.le ngth == 0)
// call your populate function:
populateDropdow n(ddn);
}
it seems to be working fine for smaller lists (up to a few hundred items)

Hi Sergey and thanks for the response.
I have been using onmousedown , which works for IE7 and Firefox, but not
IE6.
Which browsers have you tested onmousemove with ?

John,
I was testing on IE6 - and on it onmousedown works the same as onclick -
that is why I used onmousemove - then it seems to work just fine.
