[SOLVED] Multiselect Listbox Won't Close

I have a dropdown listbox that I have enabled multiselect on. However, when there are a large amount of records in the listbox, when you open the listbox and try to click out, it does not close. It closes fine when there are fewer records. Is there a way to get it to close regardless of how many records are in the listbox?

Hi Mike,

In reviewing the case that was opened for this, it looks like you're hitting some limits in IE8. The solution was to upgrade to IE9.

Cheers!

Kathryn

That's not really a solution but ok. You can't tell all your users to use a specific browser, especially when that isn't the latest version.

I find this interesting seeing!! I am having the same problem and I am doing the exact same screen and code in wf7 and it works in wf7 not in wf8. What is IB doing in the background that is different.

We had the same problem when we upgraded from WF v7.7.03 to WF v7.7.05:

WF v7.7.03 + IE 8 = Works
WF v7.7.03 + IE 9 = Works
WF v7.7.05 + IE 9 = Does not work

It seems like the limit is 100 options in the drop down list - with 101 or more the box does not close. We were told by IBI Tech Support that it's not a good idea to use multi-select on a drop down list that has more than a few options.

We converted them to multi-select list boxes.

I have never used the drop down list (the pages I modified were created by a colleague) - it's not a standard HTML control so I don't trust it... but then neither are the calendar control or the double-list box - both of which have caused me problems. Much better to go with a jQuery control, the jQuery date-picker is so much better for example.
