MultipleColumns WebCombo does not drop down in IE8

It's not resolved. IT does not work in IE9, you confirmed this yourself.

changing ResultBoxWindowType to Normal does get it to render teh drop down list but in IE9 you cannot select any option at all in this mode.

This is easily verified by running the sample page in IE9, it will NOT work.

Hello,

I am still not able to replicate the issue in my ie8. Can you let me know how do I get your ie8 version.
Also, in WebCombo 4, the default ResultBox type is popup. Only IE browser supports popup type. However, for the next, we suggest to use normal because popup type is no longer be used anymore.

Handy

I don't know how to get different buld releases of IE8.

You have confirmed that it does not work in IE9 on your system.

Could you please escalate the bug to the developers since you have confirmed webcombo with multiple coloumns does not work in IE9.

This is microsofts current release of IE and this should be a high priority fix i beleive.

thanks,

Karl

windows 7, 64bit

Internet explorer secuirty settings "default" "Medium" also "low" does not work either.

I would say ActiveX is the culprit, i'd say the code should be changed to only use activex if browser is an old internet explorer version , say 5 or maybe 6 where there is no option but not in ie 7,8,9 where it is not necessary .

webcombo works fine in Chrome or firefox without activex. I think maybe webcombo is trying to use activex for all versions of IE, i think this is is a mistake as often people change their security settings and disable activex. this has been a problem for me with clients in the past. This time activex is not disabled but still it does not work.

I have on my pc IE 8.0.7600.16385

it dees not work with this version

I installed latest version of ietester (v0.4.11)

however it does work with all the IE engines built into ie tester except IE9, that is , IE5-10

Interestingly, in IEtester when it does not work in IE9 it shows a "6" in the combo box, from previous experience this is usually due to browser security and activex being disbaled but this is not the case here.

MultipleColumns WebCombo does not work in IE8, not even in IE7 compatability mode. The drop down doe snot appear at all but works fine in firefox at least

I am using the very latest version fo WebCombo from WebUI Studio 2010.

This is easily validated by opening the basic intersoft provided sample "MultipleCombos.aspx" .

This will not work in IE8.
