<select> won't show changes to size parameter.

I'm attempting to put a simple <select> on my blog, something like this:

<select name="steve" size="4">
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
<option>4</option>
</select>

Code (markup):

However, when I do, it only shows one entry vertically ("1"). It does create a scroll bar, but I want it to actually show all four options at once like "size=4" would normally do. The code works fine on a normal HTML page, so I think it has something to do with my CSS style page. If someone more familiar with that could take a look I would be grateful

style.css (should be standard Wordpress stand-alone installation stuff)

Code (markup):

 

Could you link to a page you are attempting to do this on? Thanks.

 

I would, except it's on my local server I tried the code on my actual blog (http://www.christspeak.com) and it worked just fine. I have a different theme on that one though, so the CSS may be set-up differently. I'm using the default theme on the localhost.

If it would help I can take screenshots at size 1 and size 4 or something. Just let me know if there's anything else I could do to help debug.

 

Hmm, this is a good one. The only two CSS objects that should be affecting it are

#sidebar ul p, #sidebar ul select {
	margin: 5px 0 8px;
	}

Code (markup):

and

select {
	width: 130px;
	}

Code (markup):

which shouldn't cause the problem you are having. Did you triple check that you are using both opening and closing quotes, tags, etc etc? just to be safe

 

Yeah, I copy/pasted the actual select code onto here (I was debugging on the page itself so it's very generic). I just went through and checked all the quotes, <>s, {}s and /s on the whole page and it seems to be fine.

The only unique thing I can think of is that it is inside of a div tag (to be precise, <div id="tab1">). I'm not sure if that would affect anything, but maybe it would.

Just in case it would help, here's the HTML output of the entire page (my actual code begins at "<h2>Adsense Organizer</h2><br>", just Wordpress stuff before that):

I looked at the ChristSpeak page and couldn't see the select (was it temporary for testing somewhere?).

usually a scrollbar on selects means the browser thinks you've stated a large size than available options. I see 4 options and you have size=4 so not sure how that could be it.

That it's in a div shouldn't matter, but is there an overflow property set on #tab1 in the CSS somewhere? Trying to see if it's your CSS styles is a bit hard, because you're mixing inline styles and <center> tags and things all around. Tag soup's always harder to debug, esp if it's in something busy and bloated like a template (all templates are so, you can't help that).

 

Sorry, Stomme, I should have been more clear in my last post. The issue is on my localhost wordpress installation, not on ChristSpeak The code actually works fine on the ChristSpeak blog. The CSS page isn't made by me, it is just part of the theme that I picked. But the #tab1 div is created by me in the php file, so it shouldn't have anything specifically for it in the CSS (unless CSS pages automatically update somehow?).

 

Yes, I understand that; I thought you said there was a working version of this higher-than-size-1 select on that site, but I saw no selects at all (though I was only on the main page and then checked contact since those often have forms). So I wanted to see what you were doing on the working version while comparing to your broken version (mostly because I've never done a select drop-down with a size greater than one... the point of selects usually being that they can offer a lot of options while saving screen space).

It is possible that the theme css has changed maybe, if it's something like Drupal etc where module and theme writers can update their code. It's also possible that your version of whatever software is the latest while the modules aren't. At least, that's how I understand it at Drupal, which I'm trying to learn...

What might be much, much easier (I dunno, themes usually come with hundreds of little css sheets and that's my personal hell to deal with...) is to take what you have and start reducing first your HTML and then your CSS until you get a working select (or, you could start with a simple and working select and add on code until it breaks). Like finding out which food you're allergic to, this is one (rather brute force) method for finding bugs.

I mean, for instance if you have strong suspicions about the div called tab1, remove it and see if the select suddenly works. I can't think of how a div could do that unless it had overflow: hidden on it and was hiding the dropdown or some such thing, but at least you can rule it out as being the primary problem.

If you are using themes and modules from a CMS maybe check that they are all updated as much as possible as well. Or if there are any known laggers who conflict with each other.

 

This is really odd . . . okay, here is an example using the code (simple select, no form or onChange) on my live blog:

http://christspeak.com/test-page/

As you can see, it works fine.

The weird part is that I saved the HTML output ("Save page as" in Firefox) of my localhost page that was having the problem and opened that HTML file in a new window and the select worked just fine (though the rest of the page looked a bit odd). So the same HTML seems to be messed up when called from the localhost Wordpress but not when the same HTML is on its own. Which seems very odd to me, I'm lost as to why it would be different.

I uploaded the saved HTML file (and accompanying files saved with, CSS and two JS) my domain, you can see them here: http://www.christspeak.com/wptest.html. At this point I don't even know where to begin to look for the problem -- my localhost, the WP installation, the specific theme, my own code?

I should mention that I tried to strip it down to the minimum for all of the above. The test page on the actual christspeak blog is the simple <select> shown above. The code for the localhost is as follows (for those not familiar with WP code, it is basically just adding a new admin page and a new option page, the new option page being made up of the code in ao_optionpagecontent):

<?
add_action('admin_menu', 'ao_addoptionpage');

function ao_addoptionpage() 
{
  add_options_page('Adsense Organizer', 'Adsense Organizer', 8, 'adsenseorganizer', 'ao_optionpagecontent');
}

function ao_optionpagecontent() 
{
?>
<select name=test size=4>

<option value=1>Option 1</option>
<option value=2>Option 2</option>
<option value=3>Option 3</option>
<option value=4>Option 4</option>

</select>
<?
}

Code (markup):

 

Okay, so I have figured out the problem . . . kind of. At least I know where it is. When I load up the option page (where the bug is) and look at the source code, I saw this in there:

<link rel='stylesheet' href='http://localhost:8888/wordpress/wp-admin/load-styles.php?c=1&amp;dir=ltr&amp;load=global,wp-admin&amp;ver=ba4d987ec2b562bd22e5da70fe38318d' type='text/css' media='all' />

Code (markup):

I clicked it on a whim and saw the source code for that, which included:

input,
select {
	line-height: 1em;
}

Code (markup):

This seems to be the source of my problem. Now, the problem is that I don't know how to get rid of that line (or edit it?). I brought up the actual script pf load-styles.php and it confused me . Could someone figure out where it is getting the line-height option? I think it is loading it from a different file, but I can't even figure out where that is from the code.

UPDATE: After a lot of squinting and guesswork, I tracked down the bit of code (found in wp-admin/global.css). However, deleting the line did not fix it. I double-checked the source, and it was gone, but no luck. So I'm back to guessing

I've also attached two images. The first is the "normal" dropdown box using size=1 (works fine). The second is the buggy one at size=4; it has a scrollbar but is only 1 option high.

 

mm, you could throw an id on that select, and on whichever stylesheet is loaded last (last listed in the HTML <head>), do something like (as a test):

#idoftheselect {
height: somethinglarge;
}

and see if that overrides. If it does, then you should be able to permanently make that something more like

#idoftheselect {
min-height: ##em;
}

where you have a minimum height, set in em's so if someone's got a larger font-size set on their machine it still shows everything.

I wouldn't think line-height would stop it, and of course removing that declaration from your global sheet might affect ALL your other inputs and selects, so better to override it in this case. There is line-height: normal but it works rather strangely (not the same cross-browser). But it could allow the line-height to be larger for that select if necessary (I don't think it can affect the height of the selects... they seem to appear in browsers not as inline but as inline-blocks, because you can give them heights and widths unlike real inlines).

Sorry I can't read PHP. : (
