Drop Down Lists

[gerry]

Is it possible to format the text into columns or tabbed when using drop down lists. My wish is to have a part number, size/description and price aligned underneath each other, so, when the whole selection is seen by the customer it looks neat, rather than all over the place as it is at present.

That's tricky. You can't have HTML in <OPTION> items. Just plain text. You might be able to use CSS to set the <SELECT..> tag style to fixed width font and space out your option text so that it looks columnar.

You could make this easier by laying out your options in Notepad one line after another, spacing them out to look nice and then copy / paste them into the Choices.

The suggestion above will work but you'll also need to edit VariantListHeader.html (in Site1) and change

<SELECT NAME="NETQUOTEVAR:ATTRIBUTEREF">

to

<SELECT style="font-family:courier; white-space:pre" NAME="NETQUOTEVAR:ATTRIBUTEREF">

Aaaarrgh!!! It doesn't work as it should on all browsers. Make a small etst first and see it it's useful.

Sorry Norman
your suggestion does not seem to work at all on my browser, The choices box only seems to allow 1 space, if you input . or_ or- you can achieve the desired result but it dont look very nice.

Thanks anyway
