Question

Easier view for User on a List field?

I have a List field (single select) on my Form.

Approximately 10 options are available to select from (one answer).

Is it possible to format the field so that when a User hovers over it, or clicks on that field, that it's easier to see all of the possible options to select from?

I think my Users will get frustrated if its not easier to view more than one selection option (because they have press the up or down arrow multiple times).

Thank you!

You could use the tooltip.  However, you can't enter line breaks manually so you will have to run a script like this in the console:

var fld=this.getField("List Box1");
var strng="";
for(var i=0;i<fld.numItems;i++)
{
strng+=fld.getItemAt(i,false)+"\r";
}
fld.userName=strng;

Why not use a drop-down field, where more items are shown when you click the arrow button in it?

If you have a lot of options, though, it will show up with a scroll-bar. There's no way around that.

Although you could use a pop-up menu for the selection, and then it shows up in one large list, but that requires using a script.
