Hi all,

I have two asp.net dropdown lists, one for State selection and the other for County. Both have the autopostback set to true. When I try to navigate through the states using the keyboard (arrow keys) it selects the first state and I can't navigate through the rest of the available list of states (the list is populated and can be accessed using the mouse and same thing happens for the County list). What I want to do is to be able to navigate through all the states and/or Counties using the arrow key with out losing the autopostback.
I'd appreciate any help!!

Thank you!

Hi- This is supported, your user just needs to know how to use the control!

Ok, obviously with a non-postback, you can just click down.
With a auto post back, of course, if you click down it firest the control and reloads every time you go down one. So to prevent that what the user has to do is first press ALT + Down Arrow at the same time. Then the user can select whatever state.

Best,
Eric
