Hi,
I can't get this asp.net dropdownlist to show the items on mouseover.
Thanks for your help

XML

<asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="cbSort" CssClass="dropDownList" AutoPostBack="true" OnSelectedIndexChanged="cbItemsPerPage_SelectedIndexChanged" Width="155">
                    <asp:ListItem Text="Title A-Z" Value="1a" Selected="True"></asp:ListItem>
                    <asp:ListItem Text="Sub Type Z-A" Value="7z"></asp:ListItem>
                </asp:DropDownList>

$(document).ready(function () {
$("#MainContent_cbSort").hover(function () {
$(this).size = 2;
});
});

The jQuery size() method returns the number of elements in the jQuery object (and is deprecated), so that's probably not what you meant to call. Maybe this is what you meant:

JavaScript

$('#MainContent_cbSort').hover(function(){
    $(this).attr('size', 2);
},function(){
    $(this).removeAttr('size');
});

Brian,
You are right, I was just trying different options. I'm trying to do the same as ebay.com sort option. You dont have to click to see the items on the drop down list, when the mouse is over the control, it shows you the items.
Thanks,
Martin

So my solution above should do what you want. If so, please "accept" it as the answer; if not, then clarify what you want different. Thanks.
