Dropdown menu's

Hello,

I am really battling with this problem............. We had a similar
thread a while ago, but none of the suggestions worked!

I have a page with 10 dropdown menu's and cannot seem to get them all to be the same width.

I use this code that works 100% in IE, but no matter what, I cannot get ANYTHING right using NS.

Code:

---

<select name="test" size="1" style="WIDTH: 200px">

---

ANY help or suggestions - PLEASE.

Thanks,
T

I don't think NS supports the style attribute. at least not NS4.x

let me load some up and see what i get. it will be awhile though, as I am at work and I don't have NS here.

Thanks Scoutt,

I'd appreciate it!!

ok I did it and it worked fine just using size="1" tag. the thing is it all depends on what you exactly have for the options.

I ask this becasue if you set them all to 1 and some of options are more than one then you will get a difference in size. you have to set everyone of them to the biggest one.

I used in all of them

Code:

---

<select size="1" name="D1">
    <option>yes</option>
    <option>no</option>
    <option>come on</option>
  </select>

---

And they are all the same size. see the "come on" part. if I made that smaller using "maybe" as the option then the field would be smaller. but if I used "come on again" the field would be bigger. see what I'm getting at?

you need to set all of them to the biggest one so it would have a size of 2 or more.

do you have the same thing in all of them?

Hello,

No. each one of the dropdowns have VERY different entries!! Some entries are also pretty long - like 50chars.

I tried entering a "dummy" entry as the first item (something like ----------), but that still does not want to work.

It has a mind of it's own!!

that is the point I was trying to make, the one with the 50 chars. in it will have to be the main one you size off of. all of the menus will have to be that big since NS doesn't support the style tag
