[WSG] option text in FireFox

2006-08-31 Thread Nick Roper
Hi Group,

The following page has some dropdown lists for dates. In IE and Opera the option
text appears OK, but in FF the dropdown arrow obscures part of the last
character of the text - almost as though there isn't enough room to display it
properly. Any ideas on what might be causing this ?

Many thanks,

Nick

Don´t know the page but I had the same problem, and corrected it the
ugly way: with nbsp;.
Until we find a better way of making it, this may help.

Regards;
Eugenio.

did you set a width (via CSS)?

Apologies, I forgot to post a URL, here it is:

http://dev.logical.co.uk/test/form_test.html

I've been doing some playing and it seems to be to do with initialising the
padding and margins to 0 - which I've done to give me a level playing field (I
then add back as necessary)

In IE  Opera this seems to have no effect on the option items in the dropdown
i.e they still display the same with or without zapping the padding, but in FF
I then have to add back about 5px, or 1em of right padding.
