ro4uonline Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 When a long text is given in the dropdown selection box where lenth is fixed, the values get expanded automatically in Firefox. So in this case user cann see full text. But in IE the values do not get expanded, so full text is not visible. Does anyone has solution for this? ------------------- http://www.easymobilerecharge.com Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/75690-length-of-the-dropdown-selection-box-in-ie/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonMariner Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 yes don't set the width of the select box and don't have it contained in an element that has a fixed width.

dewey_witt Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Or just use a width of width="1" then it will autosize to the longest option available.

ToonMariner Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 as in you don't set the width at all and it will be as wide as it needs to be.... why set width="1" when it will do the same without any width. Also width is not a valid attribute in strict html - its a styling issue - even then it should NEVER be set.
