Thanks for the quick reply. This question may be beyond the scope of
this mailing list, but...
I am pulling data from a database view that adds spaces to create
alignment. For example:
* AZ300~30ST Full-Width Std Thic
AZ300~18ST Full-Width Std Thic
* AZ360HD~36HD 20in Tandem St
AZ360HD~20HD 20in Tandem St
AZ360HD~24Z 20in Tandem St
I am replacing the leading spaces before writing the data to a select
box's option tag.
I tried adding style="white-space: pre;" to the option tag, but that
made all the new line characters show up.
I tried putting a div tag, with style="white-space: pre;" around the
contents of the option tag. That didn't have any effect.
<select name="partid">
<option value="AZ300R2F3S2">
<div style="white-space: pre;">* AZ300~30ST Full-Width Std Thic
(AZ300R2F3S2)</div>
</option>
<option value="X000564">
<div style="white-space: pre;"> AZ300~18ST Full-Width Std Thic
(X000564)</div>
</option>
</select>
I am sure there are other solutions, but is the first thing that
came to mind.
