What would be causing this?
I've got an UpdateProgress control in my page that listens for any Async requests, namely changing a tab in a WebTab and changing a WebDropDown item. The UpdateProgress .gif animates fine when I'm changing tabs, however, as soon as I change the drop down item in the WebDropDown, changing tab just gives me a 'frozen' gif animation.
The WebDropDown has AutoPostBackFlags-SelectionChanged set to Async, and no other properties. Scratching my head to figure out why it's doing this, but figure it might be a client side issue.
Any ideas?
Hello,
I'm just following up to see if you need any further assistance with this issue. If so please let me know.
Hello Alex,
this seems like a browser's wrong behavior, since the input element of the WebDropDown is marked with the readonly attribute and the browser still shows the caret. I suggest you to use .blur() method on the element when it receives focus. You can do this for all input elements via jQuery as follows:
$('input[readonly]').focus(function () { this.blur();});
After the element gets blurred it will no longer show the caret in IE. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have further questions on the issue.
I have been able to reproduce this behavior and will update the case with my findings.
Is there a way to programmatically remove focus from the input section of the dropdown?
I've already tried a suggested method using $find, but this gave me a null reference error.
That being said, it does work in Google Chrome...just not IE11
