Hi,
I am using PHP 5.2 on SUN OS server. Having problems with the following piece of code that for a drop down:
echo '<form action="" method="get">';
echo '<p>Information:<br />';
echo '<select name="acctno" style="width: 100px;">';
foreach ($this->account_names as $acctno => $acctname) {
echo '<option value="'.$acctno.'">'.$acctname.'</option>';
}
echo '</select> <input type="submit" value="view" />';
echo '</form>';
Worked perfectly fine on Firefox and Chrome; however there is a problem with Internet Explorer.
In IE the dropdown width is limited to the size i.e 100px. So only the first 15-16 characters of the account name are displayed all the time. However in chrome or firefox, even if only 15-16 characters are displayed initially, when the drop down arrow is clicked upon, it show the entire name (however long it may be). This does not happen with IE. So if the account name is, lets say, "1223456789abcdefghijkl" then:
For IE: shows only "123456789" all the time
Ffor chrome or firefox: shows "123456789" and when it is dropped down it show the full name as "123456789abcdefghijkl". Any help here would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
VP
