Display dropdown list with options in multiple columns

Question

Is there a way to display an HTML dropdown list with options in multiple columns?

I do not want multiple columns with one row of data, I want 3 rows of selectable options.

Is this possible via either .NET or jQuery?

Answer 1

There's no way to do this with plain vanilla form fields. You'd have to essentially create your own form input type using javascript or whatever.

Answer 2

As far as your question goes, it isn't possible, kind of defeats the purpose in having a select element in the first place! Just use checkboxes or radio buttons.

Answer 3

I do not know of a way to do this with just HTML, but you could create a custom control in .NET to handle this perhaps by extending the select list class in .NET and rendering it as you need.
