How to stop the select box from being blocked as a pop-up bit Internet Explorer 8?

I'm working on a website where if I click on a normal select box it's blocked as a popup by IE8. What?! Is there something I'm doing? Is there any way around this?

I am using a few jQuery plugins but nothing that effects those select boxes. Would the jQuery Form plugin do this?

Solution

  • This is a known bug introduced by running some versions of software which install multiple versions of IE simultaneously.

    Upgrade.

    Better yet, switch to using VMs to test in older versions of IE. That will give you a safer environment that better reflects reality.
