Re: [WSG] form select help needed
William, the select tag has a set width. There is a chance that IE is restricting the list to that set width and using this set width as the view port of the option list. Look it up. I suspect that is the problem also. I have been looking for a solution, but not getting anywhere, which is why the post. I also noticed how the list opened upwards for me, as opposed to a 'drop down' combo box. Weird, but maybe related to the browser window height. Also found validation error on the input tag on the select list form not close in xhtml format. Fixed Also is the javascript orientation for the list the best option. Accessibility issues can rise. A 'Go' button could assist. I'm sure there are better ideas from other members. Probably not, but if I can't solve this IE clipping problem I may have to re-think the whole idea. Once the IE thing is solved, I'll look further into triggering the links.

This seems to be default behavior with Safari. If you do the same with FireFox, some clipping occurs. If you do the same with IE6, a lot of clipping occurs.

Re: [WSG] form select help needed
Hi Bob, not being on my main work station, I'll give it a try. the select tag has a set width. There is a chance that IE is restricting the list to that set width and using this set width as the view port of the option list. Look it up. From experience i also notice that IE (IE6 in particular) can have cross-browser CSS conflicts around the padding and margins being set together and with a value of 0. It may be nothing but a place to investigate. Try a search. I also noticed how the list opened upwards for me, as opposed to a 'drop down' combo box. It seems to work fine in FireFox for me. Also found validation error on the input tag on the select list form not close in xhtml format. Also is the javascript orientation for the list the best option. Accessibility issues can rise. A 'Go' button could assist. I'm sure there are better ideas from other members.

Re: [WSG] form select help needed
Yup, I see it too. In IE, the option attribute inherits the select
attribute.
I tried adding a class and placed to the option, but doesn't work.

tee,
That seems to have brought FF around, but IE6 is still clipping.

add width to option attribute.
#rht_col option {width: 250px;
padding: 0 3px;
}
