HTML Select DropDown Width

[Ahmet GULBAY]

Hi everyone, I've a problem with dropdown lists. The standart select/option's dropdown list is resized to the select's width, like whether the option is longer than select's width [Select v] [option 1] [option 2] ... I want the select's option list is resized longer widths, like [select v] [option 1 xxxxxxxx] [option 2 yyyyyyyy] ... How can i do this? Thanks.

Good browsers will automatically resize the drop-down to fit the options displayed in it. For the unfortunate users of lesser browsers, you might try a hack like this: http://www.hedgerwow.com/360/dhtml/ui_select_with_fixed_width/demo.php[^] Or just abandon drop-down select elements, and go with a list (set size to > 1).

In IE, this will also constrain the width of the dropdown (cutting off options longer than 200px in your example).
