does anyone know how to expand the width of a filter dropdown? i have a list of things that are quite long...

thanks ahead,

Mary

Mary, Brian,

You can use css definition in page or module header like this:

<style>
/*textbox*/
.gridView input.gv_ff {
 width:200px;
}
/*dropdownlist*/
.gridView SELECT.gv_vl
{
 width: 200px;
}
/*table cell with filters */
.gridView TD.gv_f_1c4
{
    width: 200px;
}
</style>

or you can join this according css rules:

<style>
.gridView input.gv_ff, .gridView TD.gv_f_1c4, .gridView SELECT.gv_vl
{
 width:200px;
}
</style>

There are comments included in css files so you can find css definitions for other fields too.

Kind regards,

Can you explain to me how this works? I went to Module Settings and then Advanced Settings, and inserted the following into the Header:

<style>
/* Dropdownlist */
.gridView SELECT.gv_vl {
width: 300px;
}
</style>

This changed all my dropdownlists to 300 pixels wide. This is definitely what I want, but I don't understand how it works. Can you explain this to me?

You see, I have 3 dropdownlists, and I want to control the width of all 3 lists, but I don't want them all to be at 300 pixels wide. I want the first list to be 100 pixels wide, the second list to be 200 pixels wide, and the last list to be 300 pixels wide. So I guess my question is, how do I alter the above CSS to reference each individual dropdownlist? I guess I have to change the gv_vl, but I don't know what I should change it to.

Thanks so much.
