Re: Text Formatting within Select tags

Are you using and sort of server-side scripting or are they just HTML pages?
PHP has printf() which does exactly what you want and ASP might have
something similar, and I'm pretty sure that PERL does.

choosing a monospaced font for select boxes using CSS might not be a bad
idea either

Subject: Text Formatting within Select tags


| Does anyone know how to format text within select tags?  I have
| three columns of data, but I would like all three columns to be in
| the same line on an <option> tag.  Unfortunately I'm having a hard
| time figuring out how to physically align the columns since the text
| in column one isn't a fixed length string.
|
| TIA,
| Jay
