hammadtariq Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Hello, I have checked this in IE8 and its compatible mode, in firefox this code is working fine but in IE its not indenting as expected. The code is below: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <title>blah blah</title> </head> <body> <select> <option style="padding-left: 0px;">Blah</option> <option style="padding-left: 5px;">Blah</option> <option style="padding-left: 10px;">Blah</option> <option style="padding-left: 0px;">Blah</option> <option style="padding-left: 5px;">Blah</option> </select> </body> </html> Please help!

vinpkl Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 instead of using padding to indent them you should you optgroup. http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_optgroup.asp vineet Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/187144-drop-down-padding-problem-in-ie/#findComment-988613 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammadtariq Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 Hello, Thanks Vineet, this sounds promissing but optgroup is lacking the value attribute. Infact I have the region's drop down which goes like this: Albania Tirana United Kingdom London Pakistan India United States New York In this scenario user can also select United Kingdom for example and I dont want United Kingdom to be repeated twice. Is there any solution for it? Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/187144-drop-down-padding-problem-in-ie/#findComment-989536 Share on other sites More sharing options...
