Hi all,

In one of my pages the arrow of dropdown is displayed in the left side instead of right side.
Also the radio button also has the same problem.
I have placed the button after the text only.

Why it is happening?

Thanks in advance

Make sure you don't have 'dir=rtl' in your sourcecode but 'dir=ltr',
like so:

XML

<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" dir="ltr">
        </asp:DropDownList></div>

dir does not exists. I have tested it.

What do you mean by 'dir does not exists'?

Dalek Dave 22-Oct-10 3:34am

dir is an asp standard. It exists!

Scubapro 22-Oct-10 4:01am

My point exactly!

Prove it.

Okay, have it your way. Then use: <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" style="direction:rtl"></asp:DropDownList>.
But the outcome will still be the same.
