Pull-down menu on web page doesn't work properly?
Question: I work for a school and we have our database on the web. On one of the pages, there is a pull-down menu containing several thousand items. On my computer, it quits loading after a certain name (in alphabetical order, usually around the P's or R's.) This is really bad because there are search buttons after the names that aren't loading.
Things I have tried:
1. Checked my virtual memory and pagefile memory to make sure enough is allocated.
2. Updated java, Windows, and IE.
3. Tested it in Firefox and IE.
Thanks in advance.
Answer:
java has nothing to do with it.
if you have access to the page in question (this means can you edit it) move some of the options to a second dropdown menu. maybe that will fix it
<form>
<select>
<option>Option 1
<option>Option 2
<option>Option 3
<option>Option 4
</select>
<select>
<option>Option 5
<option>Option 6
<option>Option 7
<option>Option 8
</select>
</form>
here is a tip for windows users. when you have lots of options in a dropdown menu like this click to open the dropdown then on your keyboard press the first letter of the option you are looking for. keep doing that until you came to the one you want.
