Javascript / HTML <select> tag

djgerbavore · 04-20-2005, 09:53 AM

I'm writing a form, and when a user click a certain radio button it displays a certain list of names in a drop-down menu. However, some names are longer than others, and the drop-down menu changes sizes depending on what radio button they clicked on, I was wonder if i could set up the drop-menu to be a static size. Is this possible with HTML or javascript? or any other language

let me know if i wasn't clear enough

thanks,

You can use css in the select tag:
<select name="names" style="width:100px">

david_ross,

thanks very much that is exactly what i wanted. I didn't know you could do that. Is there a good website for learning css. I thought you only use css in a seperate .css file

thanks

The best site for css is the w3c site:
