Help with Firefox

  • Hello all –

    I have a rediculously simple question I hope someone here can help me out with. When I view my blog with Firefox (my browser of choice) all the drop down menu’s arrows are shifted to the left, like so:

    https://www.progressiveink.com/firefox_mess.gif

    here’s the index code:

    <div class=”box”>

    • Archives
      <form name=”archiveform” action=””>
      <select name=”archive_chrono” onchange=”window.location = (document.forms.archiveform.archive_chrono[document.forms.archiveform.archive_chrono.selectedIndex].value);”>
      <option value=”>Order By Month</option>
      <?php wp_get_archives(‘format=option’); ?>
      </select>
      </form>

    </div>

    I can’t for the life of me figure out how to fix this for cross-browser compatibility. It’s a problem that just crawls under the skin, you know?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Best….

  • How about adding a size attribute to the form field? Another thing you could do is decrease the font size in the field as well.

    Most likely you have a style sheet that defines the class “box” as a certain width, which is shorter than it would take to view the longest entry in the box.

    If not, you could define the width of the class to acommodate what you want:

    .box {
    width: 200px;
    }

    or whatever length you would want.

    Thanks for responding…

    scruffy – I already knew and defined the width of the class. That isn’t affecting my form, as my imput and form are not defined by .box…unless I am totally misunderstanding you. Feel free to correct me. I had the same problem before I adjusted the .box width (it was much larger).

    NuclearMoose – If you don’t mind can you actually tell me where I would attempt to modify this form…I have no trouble with regular html forms, but this one is completely foriegn to me. I do not know where the attributes for this thing are… It’s not in CSS and its not in the above code in my index. I’m baffled.
