Problem with drop down boxes on website

Submitted by ZortTheMighty on Saturday, 10 February, 2007 - 00:05

I'm using firefox 2.0 and all the drop down boxes have a width of only one character. I can't see what options there are to select! Is this the same for you other firefox users? If so please can one of the site admins fix this.

On a related note, there doesn't seem to be any way of contacting the site admins from this website, only the forums are available.

A site map would be nice too, if you can add that to the todo list that will be choice.

I think it's a known issue when using firefox. Workarounds:
1. Choose View->Website Style->No Style (looks bad)
2. use other browser

If You'd subscribe to the jEdit-users Mailing-list, You can send Mail to the list (jedit-users@lists.sourceforge.net). The developers read these mails. May be a site admin too.

I just encountered this same

I just encountered this same problem myself. Since I develop web sites professionally, I suspected browser compatibility issues and tried IE7 before searching; sure enough, IE displays the complete drop down.

To be honest, I'm surprised to see this issue. Drop-down lists are pretty basic functionality, and in 6 years at my current company, I've never had to give them special treatment to get them to work in both Firefox and IE. The authors of this forum software must have had to do some work to get this to fail under Firefox.
