CSS,HTML formatting in a form
Question
I have been trying to create a HTML form consisting of checkboxes in a dropdown. I have been able to do this part. But when you click on a particular dropdown, the remaining dropdown shift down. on the second click th dropdown collapses and they return to their original place. Please help me to correct this problem. I am trying to keep the position of the dropdown constant, if or not the checkboxes are visible.
What I am trying to achieve is something like the filters on the left hand side at http://www.luxuryretreats.com/ . Would be thankful for any advise!
Here is the code.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function ExposeList1() {
var showstatus = document.getElementById('ScrollCountry').style.display;
if (showstatus == 'none') {
document.getElementById('ScrollCountry').style.display = "block";
} else {
document.getElementById('ScrollCountry').style.display = 'none';
}
}
function ExposeList2() {
var showstatus = document.getElementById('Scrollguests').style.display;
if (showstatus == 'none') {
document.getElementById('Scrollguests').style.display = "block";
} else {
document.getElementById('Scrollguests').style.display = 'none';
}
}
function ExposeList3() {
var showstatus = document.getElementById('Scrollminprice').style.display;
if (showstatus == 'none') {
document.getElementById('Scrollminprice').style.display = "block";
} else {
document.getElementById('Scrollminprice').style.display = 'none';
}
}
function ExposeList4() {
var showstatus = document.getElementById('Scrollmaxprice').style.display;
if (showstatus == 'none') {
document.getElementById('Scrollmaxprice').style.display = "block";
} else {
document.getElementById('Scrollmaxprice').style.display = 'none';
}
}
</script>

You should put a position: absolute on your dropdown list. That way the other dropdown will not be impacted by the fact that you have open / close the other one.

Instead of using the display attribute, use the visibility attribute (visibility = visible | hidden). That would reserve the space required for the DIV irrespective whether is displayed or not.
