Hi there.
Is there a limit in the amount of rows that can be placed in a combo box in a HTML age in internet explorer?
We are having som probplems @ work and this is the only answer that I can come up with.
Can anyone please advise?
Thanks in advance.

It would have to be a pretty large amount of data. What's your code?
And this belongs on the Tech board
We use a product called FYI by Identitech/Global 369. We use their components (integration server). We just create the form and and link it to the integration server.
We need to populate about 5000 + lines into the combo box at some times.
And the product is cgi. So Icant get anything form it...

Using this small piece of code:
It appears that Opera craps out at 32768, IE is good for at least 200,000. Don't run the above code (2 million) because it brought my machine to a screaming halt.Code:<select name="test"> <?php for($i=0;$i<2000000;$i++) echo "<option value='" . $i . "'>" . $i . "</option>"; ?> </select>
The problem is that we create the drop down list without any initial values. the Integration Server populates it at runtime via the cgi and the JDBC

I don't see how that matters.
he's right, it doesn't matter. You're better off either finding another way to display the data (splitting into multiple drop downs should the number of items reach x), or coding your own browser. Those are about it.
PHP and XML
Let's talk about SAX
I'm only allowed to use one dropdown for teh results.
Another thing (bug) I picked up with the software is that the Integration server can only populate to one drop down list at a time.....that sucks....
when the list is populated via thequery, I view the source, and there is no "option" tags within the select.

I have no idea... something is screwed up in the code then. Why can't you do all the work yourself instead of passing it off to some other service?
If you bought the software tell them to fix their crap or get a refund and attempt it yourself/have someone else there do it. Your project seems pretty impossible at this point...and if you do find a workaround, it's going to be sloppy as hell.

I'll stick with their product at teh moment.
It's going to take me a WHILE to code a whole electronic document management sloution...
