I'm looking for specification of IE8.
But I didn't found it anywhere.

Please tell me the dropdownlist(select & option control in HTML) of ASP.NET can change the interval which recognize as series of inputting by keyboard.

Typing 111 quickly, 111 is chosen. but slowly , it's only chosen 1.

XML

<select name="ctl00$MainContent$DropDownList1" id="MainContent_DropDownList1">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="11">11</option>
<option value="111">111</option>
<option value="1111">1111</option>
<option value="1211">1211</option>
<option value="1212">1212</option>
<option value="3212">3212</option>

My environment is the below:
Windows7 Professional
VisualStudio2010 Professional
IIS7
IE8

Thank you in advance.

Hi there,

Answer: You can't.

This feature is a part of the windows control, not of the HTML specification. I'm not even sure you can change this on your PC at all, let alone through the browser. I can see why you may want to change this but if you need to so badly you should rethink your design. HTML has no specification for changing this feature of the windows control but you could try using JavaScript (and jQuery) to solve this.

Good luck,
Ed

As you say, It maybe a windows specification.
Because IE8 is a windows application and it's not be postbacked to the web server.

Then I'll try to change my mind or little bit search for JavaScript or client side script like JQuery.

Thank you for your help.
