Hi James,

Thanks for the followup and your understanding. Yes, from your further
description, I've got that what you need is actually a easy to use and also
encapsulated control rather than a certain control with lots of scripts
which makes the application or page hard to maintain. Also, the problem
does be caused by the IE's clientside behavior for such list html elements.
 
Currently we can use some scripts to display the selectedItem's Text in a
certain div or layer, if you want a more encapsulated (easy to maintain ),
you can consider build a custom WebControl which derived from the
DropDownList and the scripts can be embeded into the control's code. In
fact, this is just what the ASP.NET webserver control Model provide us. :)

Thanks & Regards,

Regards,

Steven Cheng
