Has anybody ever seen or written code for ASP that would mimic Access'
multi-column combo box? Specifically, I have a drop down box that lists
about 100 five-digit codes. Each of these codes has a long text description
that explains what the code represents.
I'd like to be able to show the code plus description when the drop down
list is dropped down, but just the code when the list is not displayed, so
that I don't have to have a hugely long combo box taking up space.
So, for instance, if I had a drop down list of airports and I'd selected
SeaTac, I'd just see SeaTac in the drop down box text area, but if I were to
click on the arrow and drop down the list, I'd see:
SeaTac Seattle-Tacoma International Airport
MCI Kansas City, MO International Airport
etc...
I know you can change the width of the combo box through javascript, but
that screws up the rest of the fields to the right. Plus, whenever I change
the width on the onclick event, it hides the list and I have to click again.
Is there anyway to just change the width of the list area?
TIA,
Diane
