I’m not sure I’m following 100% but if you’re trying to center something vertically in a table, you should be able to give the cell a vertical alignment of middle like so:

If you’re trying to do something else, it’s best to link over to some examples so I can clearly see what you’re trying to do and what’s actually happening.

Thanks for this! This is really helpful. I’m having a problem that relates to relative position. If I just put the div in a cell, then the textbox/dropdown sets itself up on the bottom of the cell. If I put a dummy text field, with a width of zero, then the textbox/dropdown plops itself right on top of it, centered vertically on the left side of the cell, where I’d like it to be. I know I’m having a novice issue here (I’m a Java guy that’s learning JavaScript is for far more than validating input), but have I explained myself well and is there a more elegant way to make sure it’s centered vertically in the cell?

This example is meant to show how to put a textbox over a dropdown list and allow a user to select from the list or enter new data. Updating a dropdown list is a separate article which others have already written about. http://www.google.com/search?q=javascript+update+dropdown

Thanks for catching and reporting this bug. The problem was that the first option in the dropdown was automatically being selected Though it’s the normal behavior of a dropdown, in this case it’s causing a problem for us. I missed that because the textbox was covering the dropdown and hiding that item 1 was already selected. Because it was already selected the onchange event wouldn’t fire if it was reselected.

The solution is to execute the DropDownIndexClear function once when the page loads. I updated the code to include this fix.
