Jone,

Sorry about that. My server crashed a couple weeks ago, and I haven't got all the content back online yet. I'm getting stuff back up as I can, but there's a lot of it.

okay…again to actually see the code…
any element with onclick="getElementById('f_name').comboBox.valueChanged()"
will be changed into a dropdown-show-up (mocking though) button

Nice to see and actually 'Combo' box... finally, as most of what's out there using this label are actually 'Select' boxes where one cannot type in an alternate entry.

Alexei, that link that you provided was excellent. I did not know those things could be done.

Thanks Julian. Next time I've got some free time, I'll make sure these mods (or something like them) get included.

I'm not the JS guru I would like to be, but adding the following lines to both the showDropDown and hideDropDown functions right at the bottom of combobox.js (replacing 'none' with 'block' as appropriate) seems to solve the IE under-lapping problem.
-
if(this.config["selectToHideInIE"] && (document.all)){
var IDtoToggle = this.config["selectToHideInIE"];
document.getElementById(IDtoToggle).style.display = 'none';
}
-
When init'ing the combobox you just pass in a config object (struct) as the third argument containing a key named "selectToHideInIE" with its value being the DOM id of the select you want to get out of the way. E.g.
-
var config = new Object();
config.selectToHideInIE = "mySelectID";
box = new ComboBox(boxID, getItems, config);
-
Barney, feel free to use and improve. Incidentally I did try using your internal getConfigParam method, but I couldn't get it to work with hideDropdown for some reason.
