Edit color and text font for Drop down menu???

[johnnyosc]

Where do you go to adjust the font and color for the text in the drop down menu found in Manufacturer and Show?? I like to give it a 14 font and a grey color.

Can you do that? That would be with CSS then.

 

Do you mean the manufacturers box?

The code is in includes/boxes/manufacturers.php. The HTML output will be (I think) in includes/functions/html_output.php

[burt]

select {

  font-family: "Courier New", Courier, mono;

  font-size: 14px; 

  color: #666666;

}

 

Will break in older Netscapes.

[Christian Lescuyer]

Yes, of course!

Now this will apply to all selects. If you want to restrict that to some of them: (I'm stealing your code, Burt :shock:)

 

select.manufacturer { 

  font-family: "Courier New", Courier, mono; 

  font-size: 14px; 

  color: #666666; 

}

 

And in the HTML, use:

<select class="manufacturer"...>

:dontgetit: Christian,

 

I've been looking at this... but where exactly should I put the code in manuacturers.php?

 

Thanks for letting me know!

Replace:

'text'  => tep_draw_pull_down_menu('manufacturers_id', $manufacturers_array, $HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'], 'onChange="this.form.submit();" size="' . MAX_MANUFACTURERS_LIST . '" style="width: 100%"') . tep_hide_session_id());

with this:

'text'  => tep_draw_pull_down_menu('manufacturers_id', $manufacturers_array, $HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'], 'onChange="this.form.submit();" size="' . MAX_MANUFACTURERS_LIST . '" style="width: 100%" class="manufacturer"') . tep_hide_session_id());

 

Don't forget to add the style in the css file.

Not tested.

[mazzapoo]

Works fine now!

 

I isn't really what I was looking for though. I would have liked to change the style of the drop down list, input fields and radio buttons. I guess these are form items of which the settings are inherited from the OS, browser and display settings. (E.g. the arrow down at the right side looks more blue-grey on XP than it does on Win98...)

 

Unless there is a way of controlling these attributes as well!?

 

Thanks anyway for your trouble!

A lot of things can be controlled with CSS. You also have to markup the HTML with class=whatever of course.

 

As you've seen, it's not difficult, just time consumming. A lot of featured shops have beautiful designs.
