Hi Burnsman,
It' a known issue, you can use javascript replace the custom dropdown control with a standard dropdown control. Following is a sample code with jquery:
function SwitchLookupsToCombos() {
try {
// loop all instances
$('.ms-lookuptypeintextbox').each(function(i) {
var comboInput = $(this);
// hide input field
$(comboInput).hide();
$(comboInput).next().hide();
//replace with normal select
$(this).append('<select></select>');
var drop = $(this).find("select");
// add items
var items = GetItems();
for(i=0;i<items.length;i++) {
$(drop).append('<option value="'+items[i].ID+'">'+items[i].Name+'</option>');
}
// add event to insert new select value into input field and hidden field
$(drop).change(function(e) {
var optHid = $(comboInput).attr('optHid');
$(comboInput).val($(this).find("option:selected").text());
$("input[name='"+optHid+"']").val($(this).val());
});
});
}
catch(err) {}
}
/* objects */
function Item(id,name) {
this.ID = id;
this.Name = name;
}
