HTML - Dropdown Title Problem

Hi all

I have made a dropdown menu where the user is to select one of the options but I just cannot for the life of me workout which cose I need to use for that option to show up on the following page where all the writen details (which all work )exept for the chosen dropdown menu choice.

I hope I have made sence here.

Can anyone please help me.

I can copy and paste what I have if that will help.Just let me know please,

Reference:

This is a shopping cart using OSCommerce. In the left hand column, you will notice that the second item from the top is a drop down menu titled "Shop by Concern".

The length of some of the value in the shop by concern drop down menu are wider than the width of the left column.

In firefox, when you open the menu, the menu itself expands wider then the width of the column so life is good.

Of course, IE likes to make your life difficult, so in IE the menu values are truncated to fit the column width.

I don't want to make that left column wider - I want to leave as much room as possible in the main body for content. My preferred solution would be to somehow make that menu expand in IE like it does in firefox, however I don't know if this is possible.

Ideas are welcome!

Hello all,



I just got a job working for a school and noticed their website was pretty much unorganized. So yesterday i took up dreamweaver and created this page(the rest of the site is pending acceptance/working of this main page):



http://pratt.broward.edu/colejw/Attucks/



However, it did come with problems. In IE it displays fine, everything seems to work. But.. Firefox doesn't seem to like my menu bar and flash scroller combo. In firefox the flash scroller appears over the drop down menu, below is a picture of what i mean.







Everything below the menu bar is in a table, so its not the table itself since the drop down appears over the pictures and other text. The only thing overriding it is the flash scroller.



Anyone have any ideas? i played with Z-index and such but no luck and in one instance it moves everything from the menu down over to the right of the menu, i could also be placing the z-index's in the wrong place. If anyone has any fixes please let me know.

I'm not sure if anyone is familiar with spiceworks but it's a fairly nifty application, and I'm trying to customize a create ticket form. Things work fine for the most part, the problem I run into is when I create a dropdown menu for users to select a "program code" that populates to a text area. From reading the errors I can see what is happening but I just don't know how to fix it b/c of the way in which this textbox is named. My code is as follows.
Code:

<form name="form1" action="/portal/new_ticket" class="new-ticket" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" onsubmit="Portal.disableSubmit(this);return true">
<input class="text" id="authenticity_token" name="authenticity_token" type="hidden" value="pFUDFH3XRBtjFr+p3+pNaSdbkxj8XJAVcgj9BGcUvPo=" />
<h2>For help with an IT issue you are experiencing, please complete the form below.</h2>
<select name="menu" onchange="document.form1.ticket[description].value=document.form1.menu.options[document.form1.menu.selectedIndex].value;" style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 10px; color: rgb(0, 102, 153); font-family: verdana;">
<option value="#">Choose Program Code.</option>
<option value="01">01</option>
<option value="">02</option>
<option value="">03</option>
<option value="">04</option>
<option value="">05</option>
<option value="">06</option>
<option value="">07</option>
<option value="">08</option>
<option value="">09</option>
<option value="">10</option>
<option value="">11</option>
<option value="">12</option>
<option value="">13</option>
<option value="">14</option>
<option value="">15</option>
</select>
<p class="summary"><label>Summary:</label><input class="text" id="ticket_summary" name="ticket[summary]" type="text" /></p>
<p class="description"><label>Description:</label><textarea id="ticket[description]" name="ticket[description]" type="text" value=""></textarea></p>
<p class="attachment"><label>Optional attachment: </label><input class="text" id="ticket_attachment" name="ticket[attachment]" type="file" /><a href="#" onclick="return Portal.resetHTML($(this).up('p'));; return false;">clear attachment</a></p>
<p class="button"><input name="commit" type="submit" value="Submit Request" /><em class="highlight"></em></p>
</form>

As you can see the name of the textarea is name="ticket[description]" and when I am assigning the value of the user selection to the textarea, onchange="document.form1.ticket[description].value=document.form1.menu.options[document.form1.menu.selectedIndex].value; the syntax b/c of the name is setup for "ticket" to have a variable "description" passed to it and I am then getting the error "description is not defined" which would make sense. I get the code to work if I simply change the name of the textarea to something like "ticket" but then I get an error when I try to submit the ticket in spiceworks, so it appears I need to find a different way of populating the textarea with out changing the name of the textarea. Is there another way to have my dropdown menu populate the textarea, maybe with javascript, where I can keep the name ticket[description] and not have the compiler thinking I'm trying to pass description? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I am using css to create a dropdown menu. It works fine in all browsers except IE6. In IE6 a dropdown list covers the dropdown menu. please see the atachment/screenshot.
Here is the html/css code I am using.

HTML Code:

{
	position: relative; z-index: 1;}*/
ul.dropdown,
ul.dropdown li,
ul.dropdown ul {
 list-style: none;
 margin: 0;
 padding: 0;
}

ul.dropdown {
 position: relative;
 z-index: 597;
 float: left;

}

ul.dropdown li {
 float: left;
 line-height: 1.3em;
 vertical-align: middle;
 zoom: 1;
 z-index: 599;
}

ul.dropdown li.hover,
ul.dropdown li:hover {
 position: relative;
 z-index: 599;
 cursor: default;
}

ul.dropdown ul {
 visibility: hidden;
 position: absolute;
 top: 100%;
 left: 0;
 z-index: 598;
 width: 100%;
}

ul.dropdown ul li {
 float: none;
 z-index: 598;
}

ul.dropdown ul ul {
 top: 1px;
 left: 99%;
 z-index: 598;
}

ul.dropdown li:hover > ul {
 visibility: visible;
 z-index: 598;
}

HTML Code:
