If I had to take a guess, you have a trailing comma somewhere in  your  
code.  This is probably the most common issue when things work in  
other browsers but not in ie.

Hi Dustin,

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked the codes once again, but was not able to find any such comma.

To add the below issue, I was able to click on the combobox, the drop down with values is listed down, when I move the mouse over the drop down list, immediately JS error "Item is null or not an object" occurs. The drop down list behaves like a non-editable list. It only displays the value and not able to select anything.

Thanks,
Prabu R

That almost *exactly* describes what you would see if you had a trailing comma...probably in the datastore that you are using to populate your combobox.

My guess is that it would be in the json data that the combobox is  
configured to use.  The general situation you describe is certainly  
possible and works.  You'll probably have to have a simple test case  
and/or show some code on here for people to offer additional  
suggestions.

To be clear, the trailing comma case I described is usually something  
like this:

        var data = {
                identifier: "id",
                items: [
                        {id: "1", name: "foo"},
                        {id: "2", name: "bar"},
                        {id: "3", name: "baz"},   <--- bad comma
                ]
        }

Hi,

I am much delighted to see the quick response of Dustin and Nathan. Thanks a lot!

I think if I put some of my codes here, I can able to get more pointers from you.

1) I have a JS file with method: The necessary dojo.require("..."); are all written in this JS.
       
        dojo.subscribe("mainTabContainer-selectChild", function(child) {
        if (child == dijit.byId("someID")) {
                dojo.xhrPost( {
                        preventCache :true,
                        url :"some.action",
                        load : function(response, args) {

                                dijit.byId("someID").setContent(response);
                }
                });

        }

        });

2) I have a jsp file, which has tab container & content pane and import statement for the above JS file.

        <html>
                <%@ taglib uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles" prefix="tiles"%>
                <%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags"%>
                <tiles:insertDefinition name="layout1">
                <tiles:putAttribute name="content">
                <head>
                        <script type="text/javascript" src="gpstatic/dojo1.3.2/dojo/dojo.js"
                        djConfig="isDebug:true, parseOnLoad: true"></script>
                        <script type="text/javascript" src="gpstatic/dojo1.3.2/dijit/dijit.js">
                         </script>
                </head>
                <body class="soria">
                        <div id="mainTabContainer" dojoType="dijit.layout.TabContainer"
                                style="width: 100%; height: 100%; border: 1px solid #95c6d7">
                        <div id="someID" dojoType="dijit.layout.ContentPane"
                                title="User Profile" style="background-color: #95c6d7">
                        </div>
                </body>
                </tiles:putAttribute>
                </tiles:insertDefinition>
        </html>

3) i have another JSP, that is displayed to user as per the action results. This Jsp file is plugged as content using struts tiles.
This JSP Contains the ComboBox as below,

<s:form .......>
<div....>
....
        <s:select name="userId" id="userId"
                list="listName" dojoType="dijit.form.ComboBox" cssClass="formatTextLevel" value="userId"
                cssStyle="width:15%;height:60%;float:left" />
....
</div>
</s:form>

Note: I am using Struts 2 framework and dojo-1.3.2 version

Please let me know, if you need more clarification about my code.

Thanks,
Prabu R

                ]
        }

Comments Inline.

You should probably have handleAs: "html" (I assume that is what you  
are getting back).


There is a missing </div> here.


> </div>
> </body>
> </tiles:putAttribute>
> </tiles:insertDefinition>

Note the basic ContentPane doesn't execute code in <scripts>, you  
would have to use dojox.layout.ContentPane for something like that. It  
will parse and instantiate widgets though.  This means that you have  
to either use the dojox content pane for dojo.require()'s in  
contentpanes, or you need to ensure that the appropriate classes are  
already dojo.required.

This doesn't mean a lot to me.  In generaly, you need to be looking at  
the rendered html to see what it is actually sending.  Primarily,  
ComboBoxes are data driven, so their needs to be a dojo data store on  
the page, and the combo box should be pointed at it.  See the  
declarative example here, http://docs.dojocampus.org/dijit/form/ComboBox
