Looks like it's a known problem :-(
Warning: on IE, if the width suggested is narrower than the presentation of an option requires, the option is displayed truncated, with no possibility to see the whole text (without looking at HTML source)! http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/forms/present.html#select Is there any way I can set the with to just the option and not select? ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bojana Lalic Sent: Monday, January 15, 2007 2:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [WSG] Setting width on the Select element of the form (problem in IE) Hi all Setting the width on the select element of the form works fine in all browsers except for IE. The width that I have set the select element to is smaller than the width of the longest item in the dropdown list. In IE the dropdown values get cut off at 160px (the width that I have set it to). However, in all other browsers when click on the dropdown menu, the list automatically resizes to the width of the widest dropdown item. Is this what is supposed to happen, and if so why does it work the way I want it to in all other browsers? :-( Regards Bojana ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
