Like other developers, I'm using the Blueprint CSS framework for layout and to unify CSS across browsers. I'm having an odd display issue where the text inside the combobox is offset vertically (looks like it is bottom aligned rather than middle aligned), and I'm seeing a grey box below it that is about five pixels tall.

For the vertical align issue, I'm guessing that the solution has something to do with overriding either the "RadComboBox" or "RadComboBox_{SkinName}" styles, but I can't seem to get it to work. I also tried to apply a vertical-align on "rcbInputCellLeft" and "rcbInputCellLeft input" to no avail.

For the grey box issue (I'm using the "Default" skin), I guess it means overriding the "RadComboBoxDropDown_{SkinName}" styles, but again, I've hit a wall.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help. I've narrowed it down to the screen.css component of the Blueprint 0.9 framework. I've included my code below, and have attached a screenshot showing how it renders incorrectly. On the left, you'll see a grey box extended below the closed combo box. On the right, the same combobox, but open and the contents floating below with a visual gap. Without the screen.css, everything displays correctly.

Hi Andrew,

On line 80 in your Blueprint screen.css, there is a rule that sets margin-top and bottom to every input with type="text" on the page. Add this rule to one of your CSS files to override it:
.RadComboBox .rcbInput
{
    margin: 0;
}


Sincerely yours,
