scrolling a listbox

[jeorg]

I have a long<SELECT> how can I directly scroll to the first selected item ? tank you

[umm]

Hi, do you mean that you want a default selected item in the select list? I don't quite understand your question.

[jeorg]

no my select is server side fill from a database and the items are allready selected
it is for an update
if one of the last item is selected you don't see it at once that
then I would like to scroll to the first selected item

....to the first because generally I use a multiselect

thank you

If you want it so that when someone clicks on an option in your drop down the list bounces back to the first item, insert this line of code into your first <select> tag...

onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,1)"

If you change the 1 to a zero it will reverse the effect.

If you have a select,you can set put the selected="selected" attribute in an option and it will scroll to that item.
Heres an example:

<select>
<option value="0">zero</option>
<option value="1">one</option>
<option value="2">two</option>
<option value="3">three</option>
<option value="4">four</option>
<option value="5">five</option>
<option value="6">six</option>
<option value="7">seven</option>
<option value="8">eight</option>
<option value="9">nine</option>
<option value="10">ten</option>
<option value="11" selected="selected">eleven</option>
</select>

strange it doesn't work


I have that kind

<select>
<option value="0">zero</option>
<option value="1">one</option>
<option value="2">two</option>
<option value="3">three</option>
<option value="4">four</option>
<option value="5">five</option>
<option value="6">six</option>
<option value="7">seven</option>
<option value="8">eight</option>
<option value="9">nine</option>
<option value="10">ten</option>
<option value="11" selected="selected">eleven</option>
</select>


but it doesn't scroll to the number 11 (in that case) so I dont know if soemthing is selected or not , I think I must ask to an asp net section ..

thanks to all !

[Bosko]

Eh,the "eleven" option is selected and visible,I tested it in Mozilla,Konqueror and even Lynx...

[jeorg]

yes you are right into a normal html page it works
I must look what's the reason ... ASP NET is super but sometimes !....:-)))

thank you
