Fractions as Select Entries

[11791]

I am trying to insert a fraction into a select list (i.e.: 2/3). However, the fraction displays as basic text, not as a fraction. I have tried using <br><br>&lt;select name=&quot;amount&quot;&gt;<br>&lt;option&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/option&gt;<br>&lt;/select&gt;<br><br>to no avail.<br><br>I checked the ascii character set, but it only lists options for 1/2, 1/4, and 3/4 (189, 188 and 190 respectively) as well as the html &quot;&-&quot; type equivalents, i.e.: &frac34; is the equivalent of 3/4. However, I couldn't find an entry for 2/3. I even tried making up one, following the above convention, &frac23; , but this did not work either!<br><br>Anyone having a solution, it would be greatly appreciated!<br><br>Jason

I do not believe the browsers (or computers) can evaluate a fractural expression.&nbsp;&nbsp;You need to convert it to decimal format first.&nbsp;&nbsp;But there is no reason your visitors have to know....<br><br>&lt;SELECT&gt;<br>&lt;OPTION VALUE=&quot;.667&quot;&gt;2/3&lt;/OPTION&gt;<br>&lt;/SELECT&gt;<br><br>To the visitor, it's 2/3.&nbsp;&nbsp;To the browser, it's .667.<br><br>Jonathan
