IE8 - unable to view drop down lists. Help!!

[thegeeman]

Just a brain pick from all those techy people out there because i cannot seem to find a solution to this.

Running IE8. When i come to filling in a form with a drop down list, nothing happens. I click on the drop down arrow but no options come up that i can select. The pic will show what i mean.



I have gone into internet options/content/autocomplete and enable the options in there but still no joy.

Any help on this would be very grateful.

you might need to turn on java and scripting. don't know what ie8 default settings are.

[edit] better yet get firefox

Thank you for the reply.

I think that i have that enabled already. I.e. Internet options/security/custom/then scrolled down to enable (was already enabled).

Still no joy. Anyone with any other suggestions would be great.

Try compatibility view or use Google Chrome.
Side note; from a security standpoint you shouldn't use autocomplete/autofill.

thanks moviegeek. Tried compatibility viewb but still do not allow drop down boxes to work. Google Chrome??? A new one on me.
