On an android tablet, using Chrome, I'm showing a custom web page. In it I have some dropdown controls (HTML5 SELECT). With these controls I'm trying to display more HTML OPTION elements by reducing their displayed size. I'm not having success with my effort. On my 7-inch tablet the options always show up with only about 12 elements filling the display (held in portrait mode).
For example, use this CSS:
#distDV {
font-size: 8pt;
border-color: #999999;
}
#distDV option {
font-size: 8pt;
border-color: #999999;
}
with this HTML:
<select id="distDV">
<option value="30">+30</option>
<option value="29">+29</option>
</select>
On a desktop computer (using Chrome v. 25 or later) the select drop-down displays in the smaller, requested font. When I click on the control to show the values the options also are in a tiny font.
On my android tablet (using Chrome v. 25 or later) the select drop-down displays in the smaller, requested font. When I click on the control to select a value the options are shown by the android device in a standard option select, full-screen, using about 12 lines top-to-bottom on my 7-inch display. I'm trying to make this maybe 16 lines, doing this through CSS.
I'm looking for ideas. Yes, I already tried using an optgroup, to no effect.
Thank in advance, Jerome.
