XPages: Combobox closing too quickly

Hello,

Wonder if anyone is having an issue with a combobox on an XPage closing too quickly?

We have a number of comboboxes which are pulling values from views, they have onChange events to refresh the fields on the page. When the user tries to select a value, the drop down list closes before they get a chance to select a value.

I have tried taking off the onChange value and having static values - but the problem keeps reproducing itself.

If anyone has any tips or a solution for this strange problem, i would appreciate the help.

Thanks

Jamie

Subject: ComboBox & Page Refresh Problem

Are the comboboxes in a custom control? Your symptoms sound similar to a problem in 8.5.0 and 8.5.1 (I think it’s fixed in 8.5.2) with the in-built date picker control. When it was in a custom control the date picker instantly refreshed the page in IE8 http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/ddwiki.nsf/dx/Date_Time_Picker_XPages_8.5.1_and_Internet_Explorer_8

Do either or both of those scenarios fit here - IE8 and/or your comboboxes being in custom controls?

There’s coede to force compatibility mode in IE8 here http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/ddwiki.nsf/dx/Dojox_Charting_for_XPages

Thanks for the reply.

I have my comboboxes in a contentArea custom control, but am using IE7 - thanks for letting me know about this bug, looks like the only way to fix is to upgrade to 8.5.2 (but cant as there is a problem with the LDAP authentication for us ) :frowning:

Thanks for the help.
