Drop down boxes on IE

02-10-2009

Can anyone explain the parameters that control drop down boxes?

On one PC I use, when I click on the down arrow I can see a limited list
of options, while on another PC the list [on the same website] is much
longer.

Basic option / select

Code and Example
default selection is first in list.
http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit....ryhtml_select2

default option preselected
http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit....ryhtml_select3

It's okay not to mention the site? Maybe even the version(s) of IE?

If you view the source and search for a word in the list you may see the
same size list or something different. If different you would then have
to try and find out what's missing.

Have you tried a non IE browser? I can't you didn't mention the site.

The site does not allow the source to be viewed.

Nine days later, and .newman has not yet mentioned which site is the
problem site.

I've never found a web page where the source was not visible.

It is an HTTPS banking site that requires a password to be entered via a
drop down box.

That sounds fairly stupid, present the user with a drop down list of
passwords.
