Can you change the way a drop down box appears in a form such that the button with the down arrow always appears, even when that field is not the currently selected one? <p> Jeff<br><a href=mailto: masterracker@hotmail.com> masterracker@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Of all the things I've lost in life, I miss my mind the most ...
 
If possible it will be with an API call<br>
Not sure if it can be done. <p> DougP<br><a href=mailto: dposton@universal1.com> dposton@universal1.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
 
A solution to this would be very nice.&nbsp;&nbsp;Users leave whatever is in the default, never realizing they can use the drop down.&nbsp;&nbsp;They just keep tabbing right over it.&nbsp;&nbsp;I do shade the drop down a different color, as I do with the other fill in the blanks, hoping they will notice the difference.
 
I just tested a form that I have been working on. I put a , at the end of the dropdown list of choices. This brings up the dropdown list blank. I haven't tested it very much, but it seems to work.
