form-entries

[Herbert Plass]

Hi,

I produced a webform with several entries. The code is:

<select name="casus" size="0">
<option value="Fall" label="cas">Fall</option>
<option value="Ptest" label="cas">Fall test</option>
</select>

With IE, netscape, mozilla this appears to work on windows, linux or
MacIntosh-platform.
With the safari browser on Mac-platform there is a problem, I was told.
Instead of the value the label is displayed. Is there a possibility to
circumvent the problem?

Thanks from helping
Herbert Plass

Sure. If you don't want the lebel text to appear, don't put it there in the
first place.

This is what the HTML spec has to say about "label" attributes in OPTION
tags:
That's clear enough isn't it?

<select name="casus" size="0">

Sounds very strange. What are you really doing? (As usual, a URL could
convince some of us of the possibility that it's something sensible, but
so far, we've only seen attempts to create problems in a trivial
situation. What do you expect size="0" to mean?)
