Hi bri189a I will have a look to see that i have the latest SP for IE. Thanks for the suggestion. Shane

Hi bri189a Thanks for the reply. I don�t think it is a bug with the browser because when I switch the theme on my computer to windows classic it works fine but it does not work on the default windows xp theme. I looked up some previous code that I had on the server with a dropdownlist in it to see if the problem was the same but I wasn�t, it worked fine. I copied the code that worked into my new application and still the problem persists. :confused: I had a closer look at the dropdownlist and it is being populated using AJAX JavaScript based on when another dropdownlist has changed. So i am now leaning towards the conclusion that the dropdownlist somehow doesnt like being populated through javascript. I am still confused though, I don�t understand how the dropdownlist produces a scrollbar on one theme in xp and not in another. BTW it seems to work fine in Win 2k edit: sorry i forgot to mention that all the testing was done on IE 6 Shane

Hi I have a problem with the asp.net dropdownlist. I fill the dropdownlist with say a 100 items and when I go to select an item from the list the dropdownlist takes up the whole height of the screen and only show the items that are visible on the screen. There are more items on the list but they appear off the screen and cannot be seen as the vertical scrollbar never appears. I tried viewing this very same asp.net application from another computer and the scrollbar does appear for them. From this I came to the conclusion that it was a windows setting that was wrong, so I changed the theme of my computer to windows classic and now I can view the dropdownlist with the scrollbar. This is obviously not an ideal solution as I cannot tell my clients what theme they have to be running before my software will work. Is this a bug with xp or asp.net? Has anyone else come across this problem? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Shane.

It is for a production line. The dropdownlist contains all the product codes that can be produced. Because the product codes are fairly ambiguous (i.e. "ar125-737") it was thought it better to put them all into a dropdown list so the user can�t make a mistake However I agree that there are probably too many items to put into a dropdown list and I am now using a textbox and letting them enter it in manually. The page seems to work fine now so there must be a capacity on what asp.net can remember as regards dropdownlists. Thanks for the replies Shane

Hi i was just wondering is there a capacity on the dropdownlist i have 2708 items in a drop down list and it seems to work fine but when i post back to the page the page just cuts short at the dropdownlist i think its something got to do with the page trying to remember so much data has anyone has similar experinces is there any workarounds?
