Re: Perhaps OT ?

Show all headers | View raw

I believe what he wants is a size="2" combobox with options listed
with full names, which is emulated by what I posted (more or less
given styling differences per browser).


    Yes, that is what I want.  But, since I need 4 of these <select> 
comboboxes underneath each other in a vertical column, I need to think of 
some efficient means of just using one set of select options (i.e., fifty 
U.S. States, and ten provinces.)

    Now, I'm beginning to think, that  I should leave the four 2-char <text> 
fields in place, and when focus is on any of them, I should have some way 
for the user to activate a 'click' event to bring up a single <select> 
element and its 60-odd options.   Hmmmm ...

    Again, Michael has given me a solution, but I'm still puzzling over how 
to make it more efficient and less obtrusive.

    btw, I think I might place my page on one of my web sites for you folks 
to look at to give you a better perspective.

    Going golfing now -- but thinking about this :)))

Thank y'all.
