Multi column selection list.
Hi
On a html page while using the <SELECT>,<OPTION> tags how can I display more then one column.
for example:
Description1 code1
Description2 code2
Description3 code3
.
.
.
I do not mind concating 2 strings "Description1 + code1" but it must look like they are on other columns, I mean each field should start exactly in the same place as the one above him.
thanks
Asa.

Oups... with the font in the message, the space is not the same. But in your <select>... you could have all the | at the same place.
The only way I know to do this, is to use a fixed font (like courier), and to insert non-breaking spaces to line 'em up right.

This isn't Access or Excel. You can set the fixed font, but there's no guarantee that the user will see what you expect. Adding a bunch of spaces doesn't mean that things will 'line up' -- it just means that there will be spaces -- maybe.
Use a delimiter between them. -- works, so does | , or **.
Or just use a different text to display than you use for the submitted value.
