[Javascript] Select Box - List Style

[Gee, David]

Not sure if it works on select boxes, but modern browsers support the
"min-width" attribute. I've noticed that (using "width") Gecko browsers
will clip the string in the select box if it's too long, but when you
drop the list down, the list expands to show the full string. Pretty
slick.

Thanks!

But the only problem with that is, if I populate the listbox with a long
string, it won't stretch...

I guess I can't have my cake and eat it too....:)

Dave,

	You can use the CSS width attribute to tell the box how wide you
want it to be, e.g.

<select style="width:300px;">

Cheers,

If I have an empty select box in the list style (not dropdown), it
appears very narrow...

Is there any way you can make an empty select box have an initial width?

Thanks!
Dave
