In most browsers when I open a drop down with an item selected, the item is scrolled to view when opening the list. But in IE8 and IE9, the list is positioned at the beginning. Is there a workaround for this issue?
This behaviour can be observed on Infragistics own sample page (http://ko.infragistics.com/products/aspnet/sample/drop-down/data-binding). Select an item which is far down the list, close it and open again. In Opera or IE8 in Compatibility view, selected item will be visible. In IE8 Standards View, the list will open at first position.
Hello Michal,
I heard back from the Development team that this is working by design. WDD does not auto scroll the selected item into view. In IE when you hide a div the browser resets its scroll to 0. You will see the same thing happening in other browsers (browser not scrolling to the selected item) if you do the following steps:
1. Open Dropdown
2. Select last irem
3. Open dropdown scroll to the top
4. close dropdown without selecting anything
5. Open dropdown again
Please let me know if I can provide any further assistance regarding this matter.
Hello Prabha,
Working by design, or not working by omission? Normal drop down list scrolls selected item to view, why remove that feature from more advanced control like WDD? I think rich controls should extend functionality, not limit it. Is this feature going to be introduced at some time?
Anyways, thanks for your time.
Regards,
Michael
