cesarcesar Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I have a page where the <select> is very screen right. it has little room to show the full name in the <option> so i do like "S - Summary". You only end up seen the S. When the dropdown happens, my clients wants to see the whole name. This works in FF, but not IE. Can i via CSS control the location of the options. Say move them left 50px. Thanks. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/52099-how-can-i-control-the-location-of-html-select-option/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbrimlow Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Yes. Create a class for your select and put it in an "ie-only.css" file. .select { margin-right:50px; } Then use a conditional expression in your <head> after any other css links or commands to call the css file if the browser is IE (this way it doesn't change how it looks in FF). <!--[if lt ie 6]> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="ie-only.css" /> <![endif]--> For the actual select tag, simply add the class, <select name="select" class="select"> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/52099-how-can-i-control-the-location-of-html-select-option/#findComment-257081 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesarcesar Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 dbrimlow: the way you have shown moves the whole <select>. i want to move just the <option>'s that are shown. It would be great if this worked, <option style="margin-right:50px;"> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/52099-how-can-i-control-the-location-of-html-select-option/#findComment-257829 Share on other sites More sharing options...
