asp dropdownlist style

Hi All,

This may be a stupid question. (Oh yes, there are no stupid questions, only stupid people.) But anyway, I have a feature I've added with some form elements on it. A few elements are asp dropdownlists. I haven't added any skin id to them, but they are picking up style attributes from somewhere and the CssClass attribute I specify is being ignored. I am just have no clue what's going here.

Thanks,

clueless

Re: asp dropdownlist style

It's probably coming from the theme.skin file in your skin folder or if in medium trust from /App_Themes/Default/theme.skin

You can set EnableTheming="false" on the DropDownList and this will eliminate that problem so that you can use just css.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Did the trick. Thanks again. I haven't much worked with skins before. (I should go do some reading)

Re: asp dropdownlist style

In my opinion it is better to not use theme.skin and just use css for the reasons discussed here:
