Menu
I was wondering if anyone else has run into this problem before. I have a form, within a centered table, that has a drop-down list of options. The <select> has a class applied that makes the width a fixed size in pixels. I’ve gotten feedback from a few people saying that when they use Netscape (one specifically said Netscape 7.2), they can’t get the menu to stop scrolling for them to select an option. They use the side scroll bar to move down to their choice, but when they move their mouse out over the text to select it, the list starts scrolling and they can’t get it to select.
This is what the html looks like for it:
<select class=”title-picker” name=”title”>
<option value=””>Select a title</option>
<option value=”01482076″>title 1</option>
…and so on
</select>
And this is what the classes look like:
select.title-picker {
width:550px;
}
select.title-picker option {
width:550px;
overflow:hidden;
}
Has anyone else seen anything like this before? It appears to be a Netscape issue only; no one using IE has reported it. I’ve heard this from more than 1 person, so I don’t want to just write it off…but I’ve not been able to re-create the behavior using various versions of Netscape on either a Mac or PC either. I’m baffled. ?
Many thanks in advance!
