drop list rendering different in Chrome only

[alex.kolaric]

Hi,

I need any suggestion about the appearance of the drop lists within Chrome. In all browsers I tested (IE 7, 8, FF) everything is nice but in Chrome I get this kind of display.

Hi Alex,

I'll experiment a bit with the CSS, but yes Chrome does do it a bit differently.
I'll see if I can find a combination that's cleaner in all the browsers.

hi Alex,

I'm not seeing the effect in Chrome 12.
Can you maybe post an example (complete with web folder?)

cheers

Hi Bruce,

let me isolate one sample page with my web folder in order to make it DB unrelated.

Thanks,

Hi Bruce,

I finally found some time to go back to this problem. I installed the latest version of NT5 and recompiled example 11 that comes with it. I added one drop list to see how it renders in Chrome using default NT CSS styles and here is the result. This should be simple to test and reproduce, right?

Any help is appreciated.

Regards,
Alex

Ok, so I finally discovered what makes the drop list render differently in Chrome. It is style="width: xxx px" added to the <select> tag by the template if I want to make it fixed width. If there is no width drop list is properly aligned to the left in Chrome too, however in that case all drop lists have different width which looks awful on the page.

Any ideas how to deal with the appearance of the drop lists?

thanks,
Alex

I tool example 2, AliasForm procedure, and set the width of the drop to 200px. Seems to look the same in FF and Chrome (ok in both). But I'm testing in NT6 - are you in NT5?

cheers

thanks,
Alex

[Bruce]

Hi Bruce,

It is not. look closer to the chrome image. It is moved for ~1 px to the left.

Thanks,
Alex
