IE DropDownList, weird behaviour

[kristof]

Hi,

I'm populating an aspropDownList from a DataSet, and I get a very weird result.

I have this number (0099471468240) that gets shown like this: ' 009... ', within the dropdown. Although in code, it clearly is what it should be: 0099471468240.

Now the weird thing is that it works fine in FireFox, NOT in IE7 (on vista).

FireFox HTML source code

<select name="ctl00$CPHolderData$DdlSenderID" id="ctl00_CPHolderData_DdlSenderID">
	<option selected="selected" value="0099471468240">0099471468240</option>
	<option value="0099472013546">0099472013546</option>
	<option value="0099472891115">0099472891115</option>

	<option value="0099478184139">0099478184139</option>
	<option value="0099478184161">0099478184161</option>
	<option value="0099479056140">0099479056140</option>
	<option value="00997937012210">00997937012210</option>

</select>

IE HTML source code

<select name="ctl00$CPHolderData$DdlSenderID" id="ctl00_CPHolderData_DdlSenderID">
	<option selected="selected" value="0099471468240">0099471468240</option>
	<option value="0099472013546">0099472013546</option>
	<option value="0099472891115">0099472891115</option>
	<option value="0099478184139">0099478184139</option>
	<option value="0099478184161">0099478184161</option>
	<option value="0099479056140">0099479056140</option>
	<option value="00997937012210">00997937012210</option>

</select>

Unless I'm missing something, I think the code is the same?

Any idea what's causing this?

Thanks,

Kristof

do you have a width set on the dropdown list?

 

[kristof]

I had one using style, previously, but I removed it. That didn't change anything though.

This is the asp code I have now:

<asp:DropDownList ID="DdlID" runat="server" AutoPostBack="False" OnSelectedIndexChanged="DdlID_SelectedIndexChanged">
            </asp:DropDownList>

 

[jbenson001]

do you have the ddl embedded in another control, or table?
