Hi list, I'm in a bit of a twist and need help. I have a css-based dropdown list with div's. I needed this as I need to have images with my dropdown list options which I can't achieve with a normal dropdown (select) field.
Now that I have this dropdown list, I have a few issues with it, both in Firefox and IE on Windows, not sure about other browser, but i suspect its the same. ok, enough of the rant. You can checkout an example of what i'm doing here: http://203.202.1.246/wsg/dropdown3.html . What i'm trying to do here, is have multiple "dropdown" lists where a user can select from the list and the textbox beside it is set with the selected value. What i've done is have a 2-column table, first column has the dropdown list and the 2nd has the textbox. This table is wrapped in a div with its height set to 200px so that i can get a scrolling effect. This should hide the other dropdowns until the div is scrolled and they show up. Now the problems that i have with this are: - In both Firefox and IE, when the dropdowns are listed one after the other vertically, the lower dropdowns show up (sorry, can't explain futher, but please have a look at the example) - In firefox, the inner divs are hidden fine, but when you click on the dropdown image, the LIST div shows up towards the bottom of the page. I believe this is cause of the "relative" positioning, but not sure how to fix it. - In IE, all the dropdown divs are shown (well the text "Select a symbol"), and is not hidden automatically like firefox. Any help with this would be great and i'm at my wit's end with this. If you know of an alternative, that would be great as well. Also, I'm using the IE7 javascript so that IE will "hide" the div options, but that didn't help much. cheers, AJ ____________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
