Drop downs and submit buttons are a good example. Each browser handles them slightly different.</p> <p>The input field styling is different because Firefox is the only one that supports the CSS you have in place to do what you are doing with both the border radius and the border color.</p> <p>Welcome to the web LOL! It's a much different world than windows form applications... far more variables to deal with when it comes to browser differences, CSS support, etc. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dropdowns-in-thesis-css-help#post-5437 Thu, 13 May 2010 11:19:01 +0000 xecorp 5437@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thank you Carl. I wasn't aware of browser idiosyncrasies regarding drop downs.<br /> I am coming from windows forms application development and relatively new to web design.</p> <p>Do you know why the input fields only show a border in Firefox?</p> <p>Thanks again for your help. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dropdowns-in-thesis-css-help#post-5426 Wed, 12 May 2010 16:09:21 +0000 Carl Hancock 5426@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Looking at your form in Safari the drop downs are already the same width as the other input fields on your form.</p> <p>How are you wanting to style them? You only have so much control over styling a drop down because it is an element handled by the browser and each browser handles them slightly different. They aren't like input fields where you can style the background color, border, etc.</p> <p>The drop downs and input fields both already have the same width percentage (35%) so any variance is going to be due to how the specific browser handles drop downs. Just like buttons, browsers handle drop downs slightly different. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dropdowns-in-thesis-css-help#post-5422 Wed, 12 May 2010 13:23:53 +0000 xecorp 5422@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello here is my site with a form: <a href="http://xecorporation.com/merrill/products/home/" rel="nofollow">http://xecorporation.com/merrill/products/home/</a>.</p> <p>Could someone please help me with the styling so dropdowns will look like the other input fields, i.e. borders and width?</p> <p>I am also curious why input field borders are only visible in Firefox (not in IE, Chrome, or Safari).</p> <p>Thanks in advance. </p>
