Is it possible to make input looks like chosen (http://harvesthq.github.com/chosen/) selects?
I don't need autocomplete, I need round borders, blue border on active, same height, same background.
PS: standart inputs and chosen selects look too diffent.
Have a look at twitter bootstrap
Form elements examples here. They look more or less like chosen inputs.

so I am currently trying to make a dropdown with options that go
FullName | IDNumber
I was wondering if there is a way to add dynamic padding so that the "|" is lined up on every option.
Dropdown Options Example
Here is what I would want it to look like in a way.
Dropdown Design Goal
Well if the names and IDs doesn't come with any interaction with DB try using extra space ( ) after the names.
Display it in 1x2 box instead of 1x1.
This seems dissimilar to the accordion functionality provided by bootstrap.
To give an example, let's take the "how to format" info starting me in the face right now. I'd want it so that it only displays up to X pixels deep, and then stops until expanded. So it might look like:
and then, once expanded,
I happen to be using bootstrap. Is there a bootstrap native or other HTML solution to create this kind of experience?
Assume that the thing that I only want to show of is a single element, such as an image, rather than a series of text. This means a solution like min-height:50px and overflow:hidden won't work, as it will simply hide the entire image rather than part of it.
We can use jQuery .height() to accomplish knowing the rendered height of an element then making conditional modifications.
Documentation and examples for jQuery .height().
A combination of height and overflow in combination with the toggling of a class should work here.

The click of the arrow is bound to the following function:
function expandCollapse() {
$("#container").toggleClass("expanded");
$(".glyphicon").toggleClass("glyphicon-arrow-down"); // Flip Arrow
}
I'm replacing a winforms screen with an html interface, which needs to run in IE7/8/9 & Firefox.
Currently on one of our screens we have a funky input control that looks like this:
The user can enter a value in one of three ways:
the user can just type into the box
the user can select an item from the dropdown
the user can tick the ‘Unopened’ checkbox, which effectively chooses a known item we call ‘Unopened’
There’s also a search button ‘…’ but that’s another control which is easy to implement.
I want to rebuild this using html and am wondering how to replace the Unopened function, as (a) and (b) are easy enough. I’m thinking I’ll just put a separate Unopened checkbox beneath the INPUT box instead of inside it, because that would be simpler. But if there's a way to keep it looking like it does now I’d probably prefer that. Is that possible?
UPDATE:
Secondary question: if I do put the checkbox inside the INPUT box using CSS am I just bringing upon myself a lot of pain with quirky little usability or layout problems or is this something that's not too unusual or hard to do?
You can put it in a separate div and then position it with CSS to look like it's inside of the input field:
#checkbox {
position: relative;
top: -10px;
}
or whatever values you need...
Regarding your second question: Nope. It's not actually "inside" the box, it just appears that way. All the functionality will still be there. =)
http://jsfiddle.net/BdBTy/ is a quick example of how this works.
place the check right below the textbox in html
in css for the checkbox put
margin-top:-25px;
(or whatever exact number you need)
alt text http://www.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?a55fa98f01.jpgHi I am trying to use a HTML select box with 'multiple' select options and size to 1 as below
`
<SELECT NAME="toppings" MULTIPLE SIZE=5>
<OPTION VALUE="mushrooms">mushrooms
<OPTION VALUE="greenpeppers">green peppers
</SELECT>
When the size is set to 1 small scrollbar appears which makes the page clumsy.If I increase the size its eating up my page since there are around 20 such multiple boxes in and around the page. I am looking for a solution which looks like <SELECT> but should function as multiple
Is this possible. I remember seen something similar but don't remember exactly.
Any ideas

Check out this code... it turns your multi-row select into a dropdown with checkboxes using jQuery.

I'm going to go in bit of a different direction with this one:
You really, really need to rethink your design if you need to do what you are doing here. You might also want to pick up a book on HTML; and interface design in general.
When things look a certain way, that gives people certain expectations: A single-select should always look like a single-select, and a multiple-select should never look like a single-select.
You can't get a multiple select to display as a regular select. If you could, how would you expect the user to select multiple values ?
That being said, the solution would be to create your own custom solution or use one of the jquery plugin out there.
You can't hide the scroll bar in a multi-select... otherwise it would look like a text-area and may confuse a user. If you really want to hide it, make a div and float it over the area of the scrollbar to simulate hiding it. I don't recommend it but its a possibility.
I would like to know if there is anyway I can divide an item on two line inside a select box.
One of the values of my select box is two long to fit in my div.
No, this is impossible.
You can consider using a javascript widget, like this jQuery plug-in.
May I also say that what you are trying to do is uncommon - even in desktop applications users don't expect to find wrapped text in a drop-down box and may get confused if they do see one. It would be better to try a different control or try to limit the text.
It is impossible, but if it's simply a matter of avoiding that the element gets too wide you could just define a width (eg. <select style="width:100px;">). This will cause text to be cut off when the box is "closed", but as soon as you "open" it the entire text will be shown.
As far as I know, it's impossible. However, I'd look at jQuery for options. Specifically, there are jQuery plugins that allow for select box customization.
Select Box Factory 2.0 is one option. I believe it extends the functionality of the select box to allow text wrapping among other features.
You could simple add an option disabled in blank
<option disabled selected value> </option>
Divide an item that's on two lines in a select box.
Why would you want to do that? If you're using a JQuery plugin to make HTML display inside an option tag, then there would be no reason to ask this question, I don't think, as you would be already able to add a tag.
What you can do to make spacing in select elements, is to create a blank option tag, that has an empty value and name. You would then have to validate the submission to detect if a blank value was submitted.
If you are really in need, a hacky solution would be to take a screenshot of the text on two lines, and use images in your select box.

Just be sure to set the alt tag on the images for accessibility.
