[Solved] DropDownList Width in MVC

[Ian]

In MVC, can the DropDownList have its width changed?

I've seen posts on how to do it on the client, but would rather have it at the MVC level.

Hello Ian,

You could change the Kendo UI for ASP.NET MVC DropDownList's width using the following code snippet:

// get reference to the DropDownList
var dropdownlist = $("#ddl").data("kendoDropDownList");
// set width of the DropDownList list
dropdownlist.list.width(500);

Thank you Lliana,

Although that does correctly resize the list part of the drop down, it doesn't resize the dropdown itself. See attachment.

Is there a way to do this?

Hello Ian,

In order to achieve this you could use the HtmlAttributes method. For working example take a look at this online demo.
