Is it possible to set the direction that an asp:DropDownList appears on a page (e.g. up or down) in a code-behind/with javascript irrespective of how a browser will render it?

No, you can't manipulate it's behaviour, but you can emulate dropdown lists with javascript, likely with a framework (jQuery, ExtJS, etc.).

3but be careful changing the default behaviours of standard browser elements - users are used to them. – edeverett Jun 22 '09 at 15:37

I agree...that's one of my big UI hates. Just look at all the UI broken flash apps out there... – Kev Jun 22 '09 at 15:48

Thanks @erenon. @edeverett: Very good point. This will have to go down as a "known issue" – StuperUser Jun 22 '09 at 16:10
