Firefox dropdownlist covering up text - what's up with this?

[levinyakov]

Here is a picture of what I am experiencing:



The arrow is covering up the text, can anybody help with this?

It seems to be firefox's standard rendering of a asp:dropdownlist?

Thanks

Did you do this in your style sheet:

* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

I've noticed the new versions of FF doing exactly what you show in my sites where I did that.

One idea it is, to play a little bit with css. Try to set width, margin and padding.

Im sure, thats not the best way, but it should works.

Then it is whatever asp:dropdownlist is feeding it. That code generates html/css/javascript (whatever is needed) to create that and, obviously, is doing a bad job of it. So we need to see the generated html/css/javascript to see what it is doing, though it might be better to ask this in the asp forum.

DC DALTON, I am using

*
{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}

in the CSS style sheet. Is that what is causing this? Is there a way to correct it just for select statements?

I put a class .fulldate on the select and it wasn't working until I did this

.fulldate option
{
padding-right: .6em;
}

And all appears good, does that sound right?

If it works it's fine ...... just check it in other browsers. Had a feeling it was that
