[Dojo-interest] Firefox Combobox width

[mengel at notes.cc.sunysb.edu]

I answered it myself.  Posting answer for future searches.

This sets the width for comboBoxes in IE and has been tested in FireFox:

var cbBuildCd = dojo.widget.createWidget('combobox', { widgetId: 
'cbBuildCd'});
cbBuildCd.textInputNode.style.width=60;  // (px)


I has to add 'style' to the call to make it compatible with the browsers. 
Apparently IE assumes the style.  I wish they would standardize these 
types of things.

[Dojo-interest] Firefox Combobox width







I was creating my page for IE.  I had some nice comboboxes that worked 
very well.  I was setting the with using: 

cbBuildCd.textInputNode.width=60; 

and it worked very well.  I'm now starting a migration to Firefox.  All is 
working, except I can't change the width of the combobox anymore.  Any 
ideas?  Here's a snippet. 

     var dataJSON = dojo.json.evalJson(data); 
      var buildCdcbDiv = document.getElementById("divBuildCd"); 
      var buildNmcbDiv = document.getElementById("divBuildNm"); 
      var cbBuildCd = dojo.widget.createWidget('combobox', { widgetId: 
'cbBuildCd'}); 
      cbBuildCd.textInputNode.width=60; 

      var cbBuildNm = dojo.widget.createWidget('combobox', { widgetId: 
'cbBuildNm'} ); 
      cbBuildNm.textInputNode.width=150; 
 
      cbBuildCd.dataProvider.setData(dataJSON.buildID);       
      cbBuildNm.dataProvider.setData(dataJSON.buildName); 

      buildNmcbDiv.appendChild(cbBuildNm.domNode); 

      buildCdcbDiv.appendChild(cbBuildCd.domNode); 
 
      cbBuildCd.onValueChanged = myApp.buildCdChanged; 
      cbBuildNm.onValueChanged = myApp.buildNmChanged; 


Again, This worked great on IE, and made the comboboxes the correct width. 


Thanks, in advance.
