scrolling through drop down menu crashes unlimted server

[RickBman]

Ok... i have a database set up using filemaker unlimited (i think 5.5) and I am doing custom web publishing using CDML. I have a form that is just one drop down box and it is set to submit onChange(). so everytime the drop down menu changes the form submits, normally it works fine.

the problem occurs if you are in the drop down box and accidently hit the scroll wheel on the mouse. it cycles through a bunch of the options really fast and I guess this causes it to submit multiple times and this ends up locking up the databases in unlimited and they have to be restarted.

Has anyone else run into this issue, and if so have you found any way around it?

ok... what I did to solve this for now is to add onmousewheel="return false;" into the code for the select box, this prevents it from scrolling through the select box.

one thing I found when working with unlimited and having the databases freeze up.

Check your account privileges that you use to open on the web.

Make sure that 'Available menu commands' are set to 'Normal'

We used to have it set to editing only - which made the database freeze in certain situations with forms and scripts...
