Drop Down Menu Help!

  #1  
May 30th, 2004
Ok here's the deal a employee of mine has a problem. A simple fix I can't fix.

In Internet Explorer there is a "drop down" menu that appears on Search Engines & Ebay etc etc. When you search for let's say "Games" you can press 'Down Arrow' and you have the other search results listed below 'Games' that you searched for in the previous days.

This drop down box is plain white you can't make it bigger it just appears right below your search results. Does this make sense? Someone people help me.

I don't really understand what the problem is but have you tried re-installing IE? Or even using another browser such as firefox 0.8?

Sorry I couldn't help more...I don't really understand the question

No man this is a check box somewhere in IE I wanted some help in. For example.

Go to ebay.com when you do a search lets say for 50 different things a week later you go back on ebay.com and do another search then you decide you want to search for the same thing you did a week ago. So you press Down Arrow and your history of your search appears.

Understand now?

Not clear them but, for it to even drop down. I want the history I want it to drop down I was there today playing with those two options no luck. You understand what I am saying I wish I would have a screen shot I don't know what that drop down menu is called in search results.

On the Advanced tab, Jimmy, under 'Browsing', ensure that "Use Inline Autocomplete" is checked
