Drop down box being truncated

Nuvelle 08 Dec, 2012
Hi,

The form on our website is truncating the dropdown box (when clicked) to a width that is LESS than the longest text item.

Is it possible to stop/force this not to happen? Unless you can see the whole line of text you cannot know which option to use!

Cheers🙂

Hi Nuvelle,

I'm sure that I've seen this before but I can't replicate it today. I tried a drop-down in FireFox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, and IE 9 in IE 9, 8 and 7 modes and all of them display the drop-down contents at full width even if they are longer than the main drop-down box.

Please post a link to the form so I can take a quick look.

I also have not been able to replicate it, but it was noticed by someone else working on the same team as me (so tech savvy basically!) whilst working at a different computer!

The link just in case: http://www.pglleics.org.uk/site/contact.html

could this be an issue if using an older browser or system ect?

Cheers!

Hi nuvelle,

If someone still has IE6 or earlier all bets are off.

ok thanks, if you dont know of any other issues that may cause this then I will just keep an eye on it and see if anyone else reports the same, and then try to replicate it!
