Combo box mobile rendering

Post by dvanoni »

Hi!

How can we render the combo box in mobile browser style? I mean if you try to go here http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp ... tml_select using your mobile phone, you can select a value using the mobile browser UI. Look at these examples:

Iphone: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-ArfI ... sp=sharing
Android: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-ArfI ... sp=sharing
Windows Phone: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-ArfI ... sp=sharing

Thanks

There's no way at present of accessing native browser features to replace a combo.

Personal choice, but I quite like using a Popup panel that fills the screen. It gives you a chance to show additional data to help selection. So, instead of using a drop down, you could use a simple field with ShowPrompter set to true.

Sample xDemoWebPrompting has some examples
