Is there a way to increase the size of text (that iSilo will recognize) in a droplist? I have tried in the <head></head> with

<style type="text/css">
option {font-size: 170%}
</style>

And I have tried inline with

<option><span style="font-size: 20pt">My Text</span></option>

Neither seem to work.
Suggestions?

If it isn't possible, I will post in the suggestions folder.

You can not set each menu item to a different size. However, you can set the entire menu (SELECT) to a given size:

<style type="text/css">
select {font-size: 170%}
</style>

For those of you creating documents for the iPhone, now that I know how to have larger text in the droplist, I HIGHLY recommend this in your documents. It makes selecting an entry for navigation of the document a lot easier and reduces the amount of scrolling that the user needs to do.

At the top of each of my pages, I had a list of hyperlinks for the user to navigate the page in the document. This made the page longer and so had more scrolling. The droplist is the way to go it appears especially for the iPhone. I am enlarging the size of the text in the droplist to make it easier to make a selection with a finger.

Just as a demo, you can download one demo pdb file in iSilo on the iPhone.

To see the HTML for it as an example, here is a link.

To see the file with it's original list of hyperlinks to compare, I have only the pdb file

Now I will wait for the next upgrade of iSilo so that the droplist is more functional (scrolling the up/down arrow).
