Vixus Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Hi i need some help with formating content in dropdown selectbox. It consists of 2 parts, product and price. I would like to allign product to the left (set truncate) and to allign price to the right and to fill up the empty space with dots, so that it looks like this: |Product xyz.................100$| |Product abcdef.........1.100$| |Product Q......................20$| Can anyone help me how to create that?

joel24 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 you could do something like $product = "Product XYZ"; $price = 1004; $total = 100; //100 chars for select $dots = $total - strlen($product) - strlen($price); $select = ''; for ($i = 0; $i < $dots; $i++) { $select .= '.'; } $select = $product.$select.$price; but then you have the problem with different characters taking up different amounts of space, i think you might need to look into using javascript or jquery etc?
