Firefox dropdownlist covering up text - what's up with this?

[levinyakov]

Here is an image of my problem:



In the standard rendering of the asp:dropdownlist the arrow covers the text, how do you fix that?

Thanks

If you have a mouse with the wheel, hold CTRL and move the wheel and you can change the text size for the browser. Maybe that will work.

Thats a pretty cool trick, I could change the font-size in IE7 as well.

But it didn't stop the text from being buried by the arrow.

Plus I'm doing the CSS on this page and if you know of any way I can set the boxes bigger without using the width attribute that would be great!

Could you post the section of CSS that directly affects the drop down selectors so I can take a look at it?

Yeah, then we might be able to help you change the box size and stuff

Thanks for the help,

I appear to have an answer I got from davidcdalton, tell me what you think.

I was using

*
{
    padding: 0em;
    margin: 0em;
}

In the css.  If I put a style on the select, it didnt help, but if I did this:

.fulldate option
{
   padding-right: .6em;
}

.fulldate being the class in the select statement all appears to be good.
