Browser not able to scroll certain fields.

I am not able to use the forms on the following website: Car Classifieds for Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming - ksl.com

In the search forms at the top of the page I cannot scroll down in the forms such as "make" or "model" which renders the search engine useless.

I have experienced similar problems with "pop up" fields not being able to scroll on other sites as well.

I tried a virtual trackball and that didn't help.

Is there something I'm missing or is there really no possible way to scroll through these fields?

Thanks!
 
Which browser are you using? Would you consider trying different ones?

Opera and Dolphin both get high marks from users with regard to speed and page completion.

I use Dolphin HD ("Premium"), and was able to use the forms you mentioned just now.
 
Yes I've tried Dolphin HD. I have the latest version installed. I still cannot SCROLL through the forms, I can check them just fine.

If you were able to scroll how did you do it?

I will try opera now. I can't scroll the forms with either the stock browser (2.2.1) or Dolphin HD.
 
Update:
Opera mobile works. It shows the whole list instead of scrolling.

I still wonder if there is any way to scroll in the other browsers?
 
Recently my wife tried to sign into her school site using the default browser and got an error. Tried Dolphin and got the same error. It worked fine with Opera. It looks like the Dolphin browser is built off of the default browser where Opera is its own thing.
 
I can do a lot more with dolphin than stock but the few things I can't do in dolphin I can in opera its just a pain in opera. Dolphin is the most user friendly browser, its easy to change from desktop to android and anything else I can think of. Opera has a horrible UI, most things I need to do are in desktop mode and with opera I have to change to desktop after every site or every tab opened, its frustrating and it doesn't have pinch zoom which sucks.

Click to expand...

In Dolphin HD, on my Fascinate, a bit smaller than the X, some of those drop down menus are longer than the screen, but scrollable.

How are you scrolling them? I've tried all sorts of finger gestures.

I'm running Dolphin HD 4.3.0
