Problem with select and lines

[fayna]

Hi,
The text of the elements of my select is too large and I'd like to divide it in two lines. I've tried to insert <br> tag but it has no effect.
How can I resolve it?

Thanks
Fayna

You can write shorter text, that is the only solution I'm afraid.

Vragabond is right - shorter text, smaller font-size or wider dropdowns are your only options if you want to continue using <select> dropdowns.

Maybe CSS dropdowns would be appropriate instead, they are very easy to modify - but I'm afraid I don't know the context of your dropdown so I can't really comment.

Do you have a link you could post? What does the dropdown do on your page?

Not much you can do about the double line, unless you put a blank option between them, as for the font-size try setting it in a in-line style.

ie.

<SELECT NAME="textsize" style="background:red;color:white;font-size:16px;word-spacing:7px">
<OPTION VALUE="s">Small Font
<OPTION VALUE="m">Medium Font
<OPTION VALUE="l">Large Font
</SELECT>
