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 ! AikenD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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 Quote Link to comment 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
