I implemented your code sucesfuly but, there are some alignment and z-index problems when I use three select items in three columns in one row in a table.
I am also using the script: http://www.hedgerwow.com/360/dhtml/ui_select_with_fixed_width/demo.php
It works fine for Firefox, however for IE 6, it is loosing the selected value and passes ‘1′ when I select by clicking the mouse on the drop down. If I do not use the drop down and just tab onto the field and use mousewheel or up/down keys, it is just working fine.
It doesnt seem to allow the use of the onchange method? I really need this script as its the only one I found which does what I want BUT it doesnt work in IE correctly? Is there any ideas to sort sthis out?
Hi Hedger,
I’ve used your script ‘Select Box I.E. Width Problem’ and found that it assigns incorrect option values. All options get value=1 . To fix that, on 188 line i’ve replaced:
o.value = obj.value;
to
o.value = el.contentOptions[obj.selectedIndex].value;
Now everything works perfect.
I have tryied to fix the IE problem using script dropdown_menu_hack.js , but for IE7 this doesn’t work . It only works on IE6. I have also tryied replacing
o.value = obj.value;
to
o.value = el.contentOptions[obj.selectedIndex].value;
…no results

Do you have any solutions that don’t require Active X or Javascript?

hey,
I went through the solution for the ‘cutting of text in select box options’ for IE 6 and below at
http://www.hedgerwow.com/360/dhtml/ui_select_with_fixed_width/bk/demo.php
When i tested your link on IE 6.0, it didn’t seem to work.
Am i missing something here. It would be really cool solution if it works.
Thanks.
