Annoying Attributes

[Murdoc]

Hi all,

Is there any possible way I can tell VS.NET to put the Width parameter for a given control inside
the 'Style' tag, rather than in the <asp:[Contro] /> tag?

For example, VS.NET currently generates the following code:

<asp:ListBox id="SeasonList" runat="server" Height="72px" Width="248px"></asp:ListBox>

for a given ListBox control. My problem is that under just about any browser other than IE, the
width is not taken into account, and the control is resized whenever the Data is modified via
DataBind(). I have found that the following code works under IE and the other browsers, but as soon
as a modification is made to the control in the designer, the STYLE tag is lost.

<asp:ListBox id="SeasonList" runat="server" style="HEIGHT: 72px; WIDTH: 248px;"></asp:ListBox>

Is it possible to have the width/height information made as a Style, rather than as attributes of
the control?

Hi Murdoc,

One option would be to add a style attribute in the codebehind.

SeasonList.Style.Add("width","100px")
SeasonList.Style.Add("height","10px")

If you put this in the Page_Load() of the code behind it would add those
attribute to the Style attribute of the html resulting in

<select style="width:100px,height:10px">
..options
</select>

Damn, that seemed so easy. Why couldn't I think of that?

*plonk*,*plonk*,*plonk*, Ouch!

Thanks, Tomas.
