Hi,

I'm sure the new Classifieds passed the internal "woo look how cool this is" test, but why is it that when you actually try and use it in anger - e.g. scrolling down the list of manufacturers - it seems like you have to scroll gently otherwise the drop down list disappears completely. Seems to happen for me regularly on Chrome on both my phone (Google Nexus 4) and tablets (Samsung Note 2). No doubt this is because you're using some <UL> container with jQuery/AJAX wizardry rather than a multiple choice <SELECT> like normal folk. tongue out

Also, why on God's green Earth would you think that someone who selects a manufacturer would be in the market to buy every single model that manufacturer sells? Selecting all of the models makes no sense whatsoever!

Sorry for the blunt feedback.

We couldn't use a normal select because we wanted the option of being able to select multiple models. There is no native HTML multi-select that is a drop down with check boxes.

My personal opinion would be to only allow one make / model choice on that page and use native HTML elements.

Fair enough. And apologies for the blunt feedback (again)
