TS 7.5.0.1 and inline dropdown menus

We just upgraded to TS 7.5.0.1 and we're having trouble with our inline generated drop-down menu in the DCRs and TagUI and connects to a remote database server. For second and third level navigation items, there should be an indent. Since the upgrade, all the items are unindented.

Also here's the code for the inline dropdown that connects to an external database.

<item name="Target_PrimaryArea">
<label>Primary Area:</label>
<select required="t" multiple="f" size="1" default="0">
<inline command="/iw-home/Interwoven/TeamSite/httpd/iw-bin/mfs/populate_select.ipl TITLE_AREA"/>
</select>

Try replacing the spaces with hyphens, at least as a quick test.

Spaces are generally not great in HTML because they shouldn't matter. I'm guessing older versions made some allowances for that, but something (either CSS or FormsPub itself) appears to be collapsing spaces on your new instance.

Thanks for the tip. Replacing the space with an hyphen fixed it.

The implication then is that you could probably do something about the whitespace collapsing using overriding CSS rules, if you cared enough to bother.. Or you could try the unicode non-breaking space character instead of vanilla spaces. Or stick with the hyphen if your users don't care.
