DropDownList on mobile devices

[dpdragnevMember]

Hi,

I am trying to create a mobile version of our MVC application in which I am using your framework. To test, I am using Safari with User Agent set to iPhone 5 or IE with User Agent set to Windows Phone 8. In both cases I am having trouble with the Drop Down List control.

In Safari, it does not open at all even though when I examine the response from the server the correct information is returned. In IE, I can open the drop down, but I cannot select any of the entries.

Do I need to do anything special in order to use a DropDownList in a mobile browser? Is there another control I can use that is compatible with all the mobile browsers?

Thank you.

Hi dpdragnev,

Not sure how you test it on mobile devices, but when I run our demos on a real IPhone 5, by tapping the DropDownList, I open it, and I can drag up/down the scrollbar to scroll the list and tap again to select an item. Is it possible that you do not use the latest version or have some CSS conflict in your app? Is it also possible for you to try it on a real touch device?

Peter,

You are right, testing it on the actual device worked. There must be some problem with Safari’s rendering engine.

Thank you
