Unable to load DropDownList from a TabStrip

[Carlos]

My question might be somewhat loaded. In a viewpage called `CustomView.cshtml`, I have a grid that contains a toolbar holding a `DropDownList`. Right above the `DropDownList` is a  `TabStrip`. The `TabStrip` is a seperate `.cshtml` file and within it I'm loading `Items` that make a call to `LoadContentFrom(CustomView)`. For some reason, when I click the tab, the `DropDownList` appears as an input box and I can't figure out why this is happening.
