ComboBox/EnableLoadOnDemand ignores first character in IE 8

[Larry]

Version 2008.01.0619.35 here.  I'm using a RadComboBox with EnableLoadOnDemand = true.  I notice that the dropdown list requires me to type in two characters before the OnItemsRequested event fires.  It works just fine in Firefox, the event fires as soon as the first character is entered.  Is this a known issue with this version?  Is there a workaround?

Thanks

Hi Larry,

This issue is fixed in one of the newer versions  - Q3 2009 for example

You could upgrade to it or any later version of Telerik.Web.UI.

Best wishes,
