Right align Select Box

[ecobb]

I have a select box that shows the month and year (January 2003, February 2003, etc...). Is there any way to make the text in the select box right aligned so that all of the years are in line with each other?


Hope This Helps!

There's not really a good way that I know of, especially since IE doesn't support text-align for selects. You can however specify in the style for the select "font-family: monospaced", then add some &nbsp's to the beginning of the list items so they line up with the longest item.

 <select ><option value=&quot;One&quot;>&nbsp&nbspOne</option>
 <option value=&quot;Two&quot;>&nbsp&nbspTwo</option>
 <option value=&quot;Three&quot;>Three</option>
 </select>

Use a monospaced font and a date format such as this:

Jan 2003
Feb 2003
Mar 2003
Apr 2003
May 2003

Then there's no problem and everything lines up.

Cheers,


Edward
