hammadtariq Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Hello, I am having cross browser usability issue with select drop downs, you know in firefox if there is any option which is quiet long, firefox will automatically adjust the drop down width with the option of highest width, while in IE, it remains as much as you tell it to remain using width style property. I want the IE to behave like firefox too, that forexample, select drop down stays for about 100px width but on click, there shouldn't be any text cut-out behind scroll bar. Is there any javascript solution for it? Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/181709-sizewidth-problem-of-select-drop-down-in-ie/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammadtariq Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 Sorry it is a problem with YUI (Yahoo User Interface) library. I made a test page without using YUI and now the drop down is not cutting the text but extending the drop down width the to the highest width option. I want it just to look like as it works in Fire Fox. Here is the test page: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html dir="ltr" lang="en"> <body> <h1>Enhancing the select element</h1> <form action="#"> <select class="turnintodropdown" name="test" id="test"> <option value="56">56K dial-up</option> <option value="isdn">ISDN dial-up56K dial-up56K dial-up56K dial-updial-up56K dial-updial-up56K dial-updial-up56K dial-updial-up56K dial-updial-up56K dial-up</option> <option value="DSL">DSL</option> <option value="cable">Cable Modem</option> <option value="T1">T1</option> </select> </p> <p> <label for="media">Media</label> <select class="turnintodropdown" name="media" id="media"> <option value="cd">CD</option> <option value="vinyl">vinyl</option> <option value="dvd">DVD</option> <option value="vcd">Video CD</option> </select> </p> <p><input type="submit" value="send" /></p> </form> </body> </html> If you view this example in firefox and IE, you will get to know what I am asking for. Any ideas? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/181709-sizewidth-problem-of-select-drop-down-in-ie/#findComment-958397 Share on other sites More sharing options...
