Hello I am putting text into a DW jump menu but when I view it text gets cut off its not wide enough can I change this?
Thanks

I sent you the files, but here is a text version, just in case you read this first.

Step #1

With your page open and the CSS style sheet attached, right click on a white area in the list of existing CSS syles.


Step#2

Select the "New CSS Style" option from the menu.


Step#3

In the first area, you can title this style anything you like. I added a number one (1) in front so it would show at the top of the long styles list.
In the second area, it should already add itself to the existing style sheet. If not, then click on the drop down and select the right sheet to define your new style in.


Step#4

After you clicked on the previous "ok" button you will see this screen. For your page, I chose the Verdana family and set the font size to 10. This seemed to match the closest.
Then in the catagory pain, choose the "box" option.


Step#5

Here is the part that is actually going to fix your jump menu.
Set the width to auto.
This will allow it to detect the length of the longest option in the menu and set it to fit that option.
Click "OK"


Step#6

Go to the page and click once on the ump menu element to select it.


Step#7

Go to your CSS style panel and select the style that you just created.



Result

Your jump menu should then adjust to the style you just set on it.

If it doesn't seem to change then click one more time on the style you wanted and then click somewhere on your web page and then save it.
Then click the preview button.


That should do it.
Let me know and send me a link.
