It dawned on me that I could write the body's innerHTML to a textarea on a
newly opened window. Here is the HTML of the body:

Hi Scott,
It sounds like SmartNavigation is causing a client-side syntax error in
the page but you're not see it in the modal form.
What happens if you launch the page as a regular Web page, not using
showModalDialog ? Can you see anything funny in the source?

news:Oa**************@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl... The problem is associated with using this form in a popup opened via
window.showModalDialog. The HTML is well formed and all OPTIONS appear
in the SELECT, they just don't display. The ddls are filled via this code:
-----------------------------
Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder(128)
Dim wsOO As New wsOwnerOperator.OwnerOperator
Dim drDriver As wsOwnerOperator.tdsOwnerOperators.DriversRow
Dim drTractor As
wsOwnerOperator.tdsOwnerOperators.OwnerOperatorTra ctorsRow
Dim li As System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem
Dim i As Integer
'clear the ddl
ddlTractor.Items.Clear()
ddlDriver.Items.Clear()
'get the dataset
_tdsOwnerOperators1 = wsOO.GetOwnerOperatorsFull
_tdsOwnerOperators1.EnforceConstraints = False
'add a column to allow display of the Driver's full name in the ddl
If _tdsOwnerOperators1.Drivers.Columns("FullName") Is Nothing Then
Dim col As New System.Data.DataColumn("FullName")
col.Expression = "LastName + ', ' + FirstName"
_tdsOwnerOperators1.Drivers.Columns.Add(col)
End If
'add a column to allow display of the tractor's make, model, year, and
license# in the ddl
If _tdsOwnerOperators1.OwnerOperatorTractors.Columns( "Description") Is
Nothing Then
Dim col As New System.Data.DataColumn("Description")
col.Expression = "TruckNumber + ' - ' + Year + ' ' + Make + ' ' + Model
+ '
' + Color"
_tdsOwnerOperators1.OwnerOperatorTractors.Columns. Add(col)
End If
_tdsOwnerOperators1.OwnerOperatorTractors.DefaultV iew.RowFilter =
"OwnerOperatorID = " & ddlOwnerOperator.SelectedValue & "OR
OwnerOperatorTractorID = -1"
li = New System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem("Please Choose One",
CStr(-1))
ddlTractor.Items.Add(li)
ddlDriver.Items.Add(li)
For i = 0 To
(_tdsOwnerOperators1.OwnerOperatorTractors.Default View.Count -
1)
li = New
System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem(CStr(_tdsOwnerO perators1.OwnerOperatorTra ctors.DefaultView(i).Item("Description")),
CStr(_tdsOwnerOperators1.OwnerOperatorTractors.Def aultView(i).Item("OwnerOpe ratorTractorID")))
ddlTractor.Items.Add(li)
Next
_tdsOwnerOperators1.Drivers.DefaultView.RowFilter = "OwnerOperatorID = "
& ddlOwnerOperator.SelectedValue & "OR OwnerOperatorID = -1"
For i = 0 To (_tdsOwnerOperators1.Drivers.DefaultView.Count - 1)
li = New
System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem(CStr(_tdsOwnerO perators1.Drivers.DefaultV iew(i).Item("FullName")),
CStr(_tdsOwnerOperators1.Drivers.DefaultView(i).It em("DriverID")))
ddlDriver.Items.Add(li)
Next
End Sub
------------------------------------------------------
If I set a break point in this code and setp through it, voila, it
displays.
If I don't it does not. The form sets SmartNavigation to true. If I
comment that out (causing the postback's response to the event to open
in another browser window), it works. I would assume that it is an IE
6.0.2800.1106 problem, except that it works if I set a break point in
the code.
I do the same thing in other forms throughout the site and have not
experienced this problem before.
As I cannot "view source" on a window opened via the showModalDialog
method,
and I cannot copy text from an alert, I do not know how I can get you
the HTML that is generated from the ASPX.
Thank you,
Scott Lee

news:C3**********************************@microsof t.com... Hi Scott,
You didn't show us the code that is causing the problem, so I can only
guess at what may be causing this. Make sure that the rest of the HTML is
well-formed. Missing closing tags could be preventing the page from
rendering properly.
If you can post code that reproduces the problem, that would help a
lot.
