I am trying to align the text in my .net dropdownlist to the right.

  • 0

I am trying to align the text in my .net dropdownlist to the right. Using CssClass I am able to align text to the right in Firefox.

IE doesn’t not align text to the right it aligns to the left. I have read that IE 6 doesn’t support this.

  1. Is this true?

I am using IE7 but most of my users will be in IE 6 so, both need to work.

<asp:DropDownList ID='ddlNomination' Width='250px' CssClass='ddlnomination'     runat='server' DataSourceID='Azoa' DataTextField='nomination_type'      DataValueField='nomination_type'>     <asp:ListItem> </asp:ListItem> </asp:DropDownList>

css

.ddlnomination {    text-align:right; }

  1. Setting it (text-align='right') on the Select or Option elements in IE6, IE7 & IE8 (even in standards mode) does not appear to work.

    Some quick stats after testing.

    Browser    |  Result  Firefox 3     Passes  Opera 9.5     Passes  IE 6          Fails  IE 7          Fails  IE 8          Fails  Safari 3      Fails  Safari 4      Fails  Chrome        Fails on the Option element, Passes on the Select element
