AikenDrum Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Hi Guys, I have a value list with a possible 300 + values (professions) - I reckon this would be too big for a drop down, but I have no idea how else to display it. Does anyone have an idea ? An alphabet bar seems so old fashioned nowadays (not my comment) I will be using php for the web site to speak to a database. Any ideas / comments / clips around the ear for my stupidity greatly appreciated !

thedarkwinter Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Well, can you split them into groups? When you say professions i assume you mean, IT, LAW etc... So can you have drop-down 1 with a class of professions, and drop down 2 with the sub-classes... if that makes sense... alternatively, you can use a listbox rather than a dropdown stating size in the select: <select size='10'> cheers, tdw Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/72793-value-list-design-idea-needed/#findComment-367114 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AikenDrum Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 Listbox is very good - I like it plenty much - many thanks ('scuse my grammer) A constrained value list is not really possible with the values that I was given. Sorted - many thanks AikenD Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/72793-value-list-design-idea-needed/#findComment-367283 Share on other sites More sharing options...
