[SOLVED] HTML or CSS ... not sure where this Q belongs but...


Recommended Posts

I'm using the optgroup tag and I don't have a clue on how to set the inner padding of the options

[code]
<select>
<optgroup label='something'>
<option>foo</option>
</optgroup>
</select>
[/code]

Displays something like

[code]
something
      foo
[/code]

and I't like to get something more like

[code]
something
  foo
[/code]

(notice the padding on the 'foo' line)

Any help will be very much appreciated,

Just add inline padding like this :

 

<select multiple size="5">
<optgroup label="something">
<option style="padding-left:3px;">foo</option>
</optgroup>
</select>

 

or you can do something like this

 

<select multiple size="5">
<optgroup label="something" class="custom_padding">
<option>foo</option>
</optgroup>
</select>

and in your css write :

optgroup.custom_padding option {
  padding-left:3px;
}

That will affect all your <option>'s
