Filtering Select Box

Hi kidder,

The Filtering Select control is a dojo based control and so it may look a bit different to the browser based standard Select Box. This different implementation also means that any inline styles added on the properties tab on Page Design may not be processed exactly the same between the two controls.

If you need your two fields to look exactly the same, then one simple solution might be to change both controls to be Filtering Selects.

If this is not an option, then you should be able to adjust the theme CSS files to get the controls to look quite similar.
The exact amount of styling you can apply to the standard select can depend on which browser you are using, and there are generally limits as to what specific things can be changed.
You should have more control over the Filtering Select however by overriding the dojo styling accordingly.

Unfortunately, without seeing the CSS files that you are using it is impossible to suggest what changes should be made to make the controls appear similar.
In addition, what are the main complaints that you have had? Are they regarding the down arrow buttons on the right, the styling of the dropdown options menu, or something else?

If you can provide these details I can try and have a more detailed look, or hopefully you can use these pointers to adjust your CSS as needed.

Regards,
Gerard
