Re: Wheel mouse problem?

I believe you could use the "onmouseout" event of the select element to set
the focus on the document:

<select ... onmouseout="document.focus()" ...>

Thanks Tom, sadly this doesn't really work. While the onMouseWheel code
prevents the mouse wheel from use while the user is selecting from the
list
as soon as he has made his selection the protection disappears. While the
DDList still keeps focus, after selection any movement of the mousewheel
changes the selection again. I tried appling the onMouseWheel code to the
whole form but that didn't work either. Is their any way of forcing the
focus
to move after the user makes his selection?

| My website gathers users information from a form. It includes several

the
