[thelist] handling long drop down list

[Gary B. Swanson]

New reader, first time writer.  Thanks for all the great info so far.

I am trying to find if there is a way to limit the width of items within a
drop-down or select list.

i.e.  limiting the display of the list item, or dynamically extending when a
longer item appears.  I have thought of limiting the input of information to
the drop-down, but am looking for another answer.

Thanks

Gary
