I have a jmesa table thats editable, and one of the columns uses a
droplistWorksheetEditor for a selection of values to use. I've
noticed that in all browsers I've tested (ie, firefox, and chrome) the
dropdown list that appears for the user to select from has a
transparent background. Meaning that its options are hard to read as
you see the values from the other records in the table with it.

Unfortunately due to my machine being stupid any time I try to grab a
screenshot it unclicks the item i've clicked on, so the drop down list
of options disappears before the screenshot is taken. If a picture is
needed to show the issue i'm having I could take one of my screen with
my phone to show you the issue.

Are there stylesheets I could update to force the drop down options to
not be transparent? Not sure what else I could do to make it more
readable.

Thanks for any info you could give.

If you coud get a screen shot that would be really helpful.

I typically use an autocomplete worksheet editor now...not sure if this more suits your needs as well.

I'll look into the AutoCompleteWorksheetEditor and see if that can
help me.

But for now, here is the screenshot you asked for.

as you can see the drop down from the top row gives the user two
options. Visible or Hidden. But the word Visible from the second
line is still readable through the selection, and makes clicking on an
option hard as it sometimes clicks you to the second rows options
instead of selecting the value you wanted from the drop down.

Thanks
