Hi,
Part of my web form allows the user to select their favourite color (well it
doesn't but it's a good example).
There is a dropdown box with red, green, blue, and custom. When they click
custom, a pop-up window allows them to select from other colors. This is
done by an onclick event on the <select> element. So far so good.
But what if they have selected a custom color and then want to change it?.
If they drop the selector down again and re-select custom, the event doesn't
fire again so the window doesn't pop up.
I know it's wrong to take an action on the user selecting an item from a
select control, but I am very tight for space on the form and I can't afford
to put any other controls on.
FWIW My best solution so far is to have 'custom' at the top and 'custom...'
at the bottom. When they select the bottom one, it pops up the window and
selects the top one.
TIA

An idea for you:
Have the top item be: "select a color" (with a label of something like
"Color selection:")
When the user selects a color, you replace that top item with:
"colorName selected" and set the selectedIndex to 0. Thus, custom (not
to mention red, green, blue) are never selected (except transiently -
you may need to do a window.setTimeo ut, I forget). Plus, this way the
user can even see what custom color they selected.

I need to know when the select element's dropdown list is opened (as
when the user clicks on the arrow or does ALT-downarrow from the
keyboard). Similarly, I need to known when the dropdown list closes.
The closing of the dropdown list can happen without changing the
dropdown, hence the onchange event is not a sure way to determine that
the dropdown list closed.
Is this possible in Internet Explorer?

I have have some values stored in javascript variables. I have a
<select> dropdown list whose options correspond to these values. I want
to be able to select an item on the dropdown list based on the value of
the javascript variable.
Let's say this is my list and my variable:

Hello (again),
I have gotten the dropdown list functionality to work through a few tricks
(probably not the most efficient, but it works) but I am not sure how to set
the default selected value. I have tried setting various values to represent
the default value with little success. Essentially I am looking to have the
first item in the list be the default selected item. I noticed in the
properties for a dtat grid you could set a default...

If a dropdown has only one item in it, the SelectedIndexChanged event is
never fired, even if you click on the dropdown and "reselect" the single

one to have the event fire. I have it set to...

Hi!
I have an .aspx with some controls that are created dynamically. The
items are populated into the box by setting the DataSource-property to
a list. In addition I specify the text and value with DataTextField
and DataValueField; this works as expected.
However, my problems arises when I want to read the selected value
(i.e. after a postback caused by a change in the DropDown), the
selected item is always the first item in the...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
