Bit of help with alligning a drop down

DeadlyByDesign · 17-06-2010 4:28pm #1

Guys, I have tried umpteen different ways via HTML to align a drop down list, and it wont budge. Can some one tell me how to input the proper align command (in my case right) to the below drop down code;

<form action="">
<select name="cars">
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<option value="fiat">Fiat</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
</form>

You'll have to give more information, what way are you trying to align it? Do you want to center the ddl in the page? Or align the words themselves?

Hi,

Basically I want the entire dd on the right hand side of the page. I've tried to put the align:right in the form element but that does not seem to work. I know it is something very simple I am missing

<form align="right"> should work, is it inheriting from any CSS classes?

<select name="cars" style="float:right;">
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<option value="fiat">Fiat</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
<br />

should work

Or:-
[html]<form action="" style="text-align:right">[/html]
If you want all form elements right aligned.
