Hello Raja,

Normally, our WebCombo is not ReadOnly mode. You can type something in there.
Based on your issue, it is a little weird behaviour? Do you some container to place WebCombo?
Please let me know how to replicate your issue in here. Or you can help us by sending a simple sample that replicates this issue.
If TextBox mode is not set into ReadOnly, it should work as expected. Also, ReadOnly would not allow any input by typing in the textbox.

Regards,
Handy

HI Handy,

Yes i have kept Combo in Container. In Page load i will not show the Combo, on click of Show button , i am displaying the combo container. First time it will not allow me to type anthing on Combo, if we click on arrow and then it allows to type.

Attached the sample.

Thank you for being detail. I can reproduce the error in here. It seems XHTML issue. Please do not use XHTML doctype for now. I forwarded this issue to our developer teams.

Regards,
Handy

Hi Handy,

Any update from your developer teams. If we comment 'doctype' , we are getting some alignment issues in our application. Is there any other way we can solve this issue?

Hi Raja,

I haven't heard any news from our developer teams. Also, would you like to let me know about your alignment issue? Maybe we can find temporary workaround.

Handy

This issue only happens on IE 8 browser. I have tried to open the sample in Mozilla Firefox 3.6.7 and was unable to repro the issue – everything worked smoothly and I’m able to place the cursor on combo box.

In order to overcome this issue, please try to invoke DoResize() method of WebCombo after set the display style to “block”. I have tested this solution on my local test by made a minor modification of your sent sample and found that the issue no longer persists. Below is the snippet code of changes that I made on your sent sample.

<script type="text/javascript">
    function Show() {
        var WebCombo1 = ISGetObject("WebCombo1");

        document.getElementById("AssociatesComboDiv").style.display = "block";
        WebCombo1.DoResize();

        return true;
    }
</script>

Please let us know whether it helps or not.

Hi Yudi,

I have done the above changes. It's working fine. Thanks.
