how to make columns the same size in a radio button list

[Trevor Hartman]

The only thing i can figure out is making the length of the Text property on each listitem the same. That means something like this:

<asp:listitem Text="itemone" />
<asp:listitem Text="item&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;" />

kinda ugly but you could write a function that would do all this for you. i tested it and it works

Hi--

OK, I want...

...a one-line radionbuttonlist...

...with 4 items in it...

...and I want the spacing from the center of any given radio button to either of its immediate neighbors to be the same as the distance from the center ANOTHER given radio button to either of ITS neighbors...

...that is, I want the "columns" of the radionbuttonlist layout to be the same width-- of course, regardless of the length of the text labels for the radio buttons themselves...

...that is, the column width should use the longest radio button label as the gauge and make all of the columns the same width as this longest one...

...I want to do this inline (not in code behind)...

...I do not want to use &nbsp; to make all of the radio button labels the same width...


For example, (but this will probably only make sense if read in Courier or a similar font), assuming that "O" is the radio button...

...I DO NOT want this....

O L1 O LongLabelOne O L2 O LongLabelTwo O L3

...rather, I DO want something like this...

O L1 O LongLabelOne O L2 O LongLabelTwo O L3

How can this be accomplished?

Please advise.

Thank you.

Trevor--

Thank you for the ideas.

That will, in fact, work-- BUT only if one is using a fixed-pitch font, such as Courier.

If the font is proportional, such as Verdana, then it will NOT work.

If you have any more ideas, please post them.

Thank you.
