Modifying drop-down styles

Post by Bonnie Kern »

When using multiple drop-downs in a list, attempting to increase the vertical spacing/padding between the dropdowns is not being applied. The spacing does not change, regardless of which setting is applied to which Madcap | dropDown style. The format is:

<MadCap: dropDownHead>
<MadCap: dropDownHead>
<MadCap: dropDownHead>

What is the best way to increase the spacing between the drop-downs so the drop-down heads do not appear so close together?

Adjusting the padding should work. Are you changing the settings for the default medium and not print?

Thank you. A colleague created a new MadCap | dropDown style class for our specific example, with the margin setting on the Box, and the correct medium selected, and it worked.

Changing the padding setting also works on the new style class.
