Default Re: InfoBox Help - Manufacturers Box

This has to do with the size of the pulldown/select being forced into an area that is smaller than the pulldown. The default way that select statements work in HTML is to preload all the options into the select area. This will cause the problem you are seeing.

The best way to eliminate this problem is to stop using HTML based select statements and move to a DHTML solution. While I have not implemented this on a store, I would suggest looking at something like
dhtmlxCombo – Ajax-driven JavaScript ComboBox with autocomplete
to replace the dropdown selection box that is generated by normal HTML.

<opinion>This type of solution is part of the best reason for someone to rewrite OSC with a DHTML based interface. But that is a huge task. So, rather than rewrite the store using DHTML and AJAX (which would be the best of all worlds) the best we can do in general is locate issues like these and kluge the solution with DHTML to overcome the limitations of the straight HTML.</opinion>
