Yii 1.1 General Discussion

HI,

I have problem to handle long text in activeDropDownList. Can you help me how to break with two lines if text is long?

Here is my code

echo CHtml::activeDropDownList($model,‘title’,CHtml::listData(Books::model()->findAll($criteria),‘id’,‘name’),array(‘prompt’=> ‘Please select this field’));

THanks

i think maybe you have to findAll first and then use foreach to do it…and then assign to activeDropDownList()

Yes, I did, but problem is couple of data are too long. My question is, can I break the line and fit my table. Right now my table is out of shape because of this problem.

THanks

here is the html example

<select style="width:200px">

</select>

you can set it as




echo CHtml::activeDropDownList($model,'title',CHtml::listData(Books::model()->findAll($criteria),'id','name'),array('prompt'=> 'Please select this field', 'style'=>'width:200px'));
