In my current project I am adding a DropDownExtender (from the AJAX toolkit) to my DropDownList. I am doing this to improve the look of the drop down. My code looks something like this (list items are populated at run time):

<asp:DropDownList ID="dropdown1" 
                  runat="server"/>
<act:DropDownExtender TargetControlID="dropdown1"
                      id="DropDownExtender1" 
                      runat="server"/>

The drop down works; however, in order to access the list items in the drop down, I have to click the actual text area/box of the drop down. Clicking the arrow will not work. Any ideas/suggestions on how to get this to work correctly? Thanks.

    I believe you need to put your drop down extender into a panel.
