If you use a script to hide a SELECT control or to make the control visible in Internet Explorer 7, the left mouse button no longer functions

On This Page

SYMPTOMS

If you use a script to hide a SELECT control or to make the control visible in Windows Internet Explorer 7, the left mouse button no longer functions.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the SELECT control takes capture. However, the capture is hidden by the script before the SELECT control releases the capture. The message handler of the SELECT control does not process any messages if the capture is hidden. Therefore, the mouse becomes unresponsive.

RESOLUTION

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
