html-select

Maybe this is an easy question, maybe not. I have a select box where I hardcode with width. Say 120px. <select style="width: 120px"> <option>REALLY LONG TEXT, REALLY LONG TEXT, REALLY LONG TEXT</option> <option>ABC</option> </select> I want to be able to show the second option so that the user can see the full length of the text. Like everything else. This works fine in Firefox, but doesn't work with Internet Explorer6. Tomalak If you have the option pre-existing in a fixed-with <select> , and you don't want to change the width programmatically, you could be out of luck unless you get a little

There can be many options in a SELECT dropdown. <select id="sel"> <option value="car">1</option> <option value="bike">2</option> <option value="cycle">3</option> ... </select> I'm creating a Update Profile page where a user's profile is retrieved from the database and a form is shown with those values. When it comes to SELECT dropdown, there are many options. So, its tedious test all values if (value == '1') echo "<option selected value='car'>1</option>";` So, I want to have the corresponding option selected from its value. Like when I do something like sel.value = 'bike' using JavaScript the

Say that I bind an array to a select tag using the following: <select ng-model="selData" ng-options="$index as d.name for d in data"> In this case, the associated option tags are assigned a sequence of index values: (0, 1, 2, ...). However, when I select something from the drop-down, the value of selData is getting bound to undefined . Should the binding actually work? On the other hand, say that I instead do the following: <select ng-model="selData" ng-options="d as d.name for d in data"> Here, the option tags get the same index, but the entire object is bound on change. Is it working this

On the form, I have one select and two input fields. These elements are vertically aligned. Unfortunately, I can't get equal width of these elements. Here's my code: <select name="name1" style="width:198px"> <option>value1</option> <option>value2</option> </select><br/> <input type="text" name="id1" style="width:193px"><br/> <input type="text" name="id2" style="width:193px"> For above example, the best width for select element is 198 or 199 px (of course I tried 193px, but the difference is major). I think, it depends on resolution, on various computers and browsers since these elements don't

This question already has an answer here: How to add images in select list? 12 answers I know how to have pictures show up next to the options in a HTML dropdown form element using the CSS background-image property. However, the images do not show up on the selected element. Is there any way to do this (preferably using only CSS)? EDIT: Here is an example of the working code for the list elements. However, when the drop-down is closed, you only see the text of the selected element, without the image: <select name="form[location]"> <option value="ad" style="background: url(img/flags/ad.gif) no

Is there a way to have multiple lines in an <option> element? Like this: ------------------------- | Normal <option> element | ------------------------- | <option> element broken | | onto two lines | ------------------------- | Normal <option> element | ------------------------- Is there any HTML/CSS approach, or should I use JavaScript? Álvaro González It's a particular case of displaying HTML tags inside an <option></option> element. As far as I know, browsers behave very differently in this area (Firefox displays even images, other browsers ignore most or all tags) and there isn't a cross

In a drop down list, I need to add spaces in front of the options in the list. I am trying <select> <option> Sample</option> </select> for adding two spaces but it displays no spaces. How can I add spaces before option texts? Rob Cooper Isn't &#160 the entity for space? <select> <option> option 1</option> <option> option 2</option> </select> Works for me... EDIT: Just checked this out, there may be compatibility issues with this in older browsers, but all seems to work fine for me here.
