Drop down list item text problem
|
If I have a question of type drop down list. one of my question is very long say "Emigration Check Not Required" status? (Please note that all 10 and above qualified applicants are eligible for ECNR status.) If yes, mention the eligible category (see Section III of Passport Information Booklet) and enclose copy of relevant certificate/document" HERE.. the width of the form exceeds the monitor width. looks very wierd... Can u please check? |

Hi, can you move the "please note..." text into the "supporting text" area so it appears underneath the list? There really isn't a way to make browsers wrap text in select lists, so it'll expand it to fit as much text as you have. |

Ade, Thanks for the quick reply. Just wanted to inform that It is just an example. I can use the support text feature to set the question more user friendly.... but I don't want to use the support text... See the link below: this is what I want: Styling the select: http://www.icant.co.uk/forreview/tamingselect/ See when the item text's width is larder then the Select box's width Mozilla does it automatically... but IE doesn't Hope the question is clear Thanks Appreciated the quickest reply.

| The solution there describes replacing a select list element with a set of DIVs, which might look nice, but I wouldn't recommend it because it has a number of problems with accessibility. It's also more designed for navigation elements, whereas you would need quite a bit of JavaScript overhead to take the selected element and save the value to a hidden field so it can be submitted to FormSpring. It also would create a lot of problems with our conditional logic, as you're completely replacing the native HTML element. |
