Dropdownlist corrput text

[mr_putersmitParticipant]

Hi
I am trying the php demo: ‘bind_dropdownlist_to_mysql_database’ and for some reason, the text is corrupt and not displaying correctly. There are no other styling sheets on the page and I have tried various themes, but still the same. I have taken screenshot and posted here http://tinypic.com/r/214twub/8.

I would also like to ask, in your demo you only specify the base.cc file but your dropdown list has a blue background on selection. How was that acheived. Thanks

Hi mr_putersmit,

Your CSS is broken i.e most probably you don’t include jqx.base.css which is always required because it defines the Layout of the HTML elements.

Hi Peter

I am loading required base and theme files like thus:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../users/styles/jqx.base.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../users/styles/jqx.ui-sunny.css" type="text/css" />

and have verified that they have loaded in net tab of firebug. Also, I notice in my dropdown that there is also a horizontal bar as well as vertical scrollbar. How do I remove horizontal scrollbar? I did note that changing position:absolute to relative kinda solved the problem but when a user selected a value, the background of the selected item, instead of being orange, it had the appearance of 3d text on a grey background. How can I troubleshoot this. Thanks

Hi mr_putersmit,

If you are sure that the files are loaded, then make sure that these are the files from the latest version. I don’t know whether you use or not the latest version of CSS & JavaScript files, but I recommend you to use it. If you wish, you can also share a jsfiddle.net example.

I am using v3.2.2. I also notice that there is a conflict with the jquery ui themes. For example, I have a a dialog that uses a jquery ui theme and if I use say ‘arctic’ as a theme in widgets, then in the dropdownlist when selected, the background instead of being blue, takes on the appearance of the jquery theme, glass background with white unreadable text. Almost 3d like. Is there a way to use both your themes and jquery ui themes? Thanks

Hi mr_putersmit,

Sorry, but there’s no conflict between jquery ui themes and jqwidgets themes. If you can’t make this work for you, then please provide a sample and we will tell you what’s wrong in your code. We’d appreciate if the sample is posted in http://jsfiddle.net/ and you share a link to it.
