(combobox) Hovereffect doesn't work correct with xhtml as Do

Hello,



I’m using the dhtmlx combobox and need the doctype for xhtml:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
“http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd”>



But now I found a problem, the scrollbar for the combobox is looking laggy (with activated hovereffect) when i’m scrolling (only in Internet Explorer 7 [didn’t test IE6 or IE8]).



If I change the doctype to html like:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
“http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd”>



…everything looking correct.



But I need the doctype for xhtml and without activated hovereffect for the combobox is a selection of a option not very userfriendly.



Is there any trick or a workaround?

Thanks for help and greetings from switzerland,



Jonathan





If I have a lot of options in a combobox then i can use a scrollbar. With activated mousehover effect then the scrollbar looks laggy…

Hello,


we have tested combo with this doctype. The problem occurs only in IE7 ( In IE6 and IE8 it wasn’t reproduced).


We’ll investigate the issue. If any solution is possible, we will provide it.

Hello,

Is any solution figured out yet?
A solution/workaround is very important for me (not only for me)…

Thanks,
Jonathan

It seems, that with xhtml doctype applied, IE re-render whole list of options , each time when selection is changed ( which is basically just the color change ) - most probably it is a some glitch in IE7 rendering engine.
Please try to use the attached js file ( purposed to be used with other 2.5 files, please inform if you need an update for 2.1 version ) , it uses different marking method and must not cause slowness for IE7

The atteched js file works perfect. Thank you very much, great work!
