Combobox width - change using javascript

[bboyle18]

Hi,

I have a combobox that is a specific width that must not be adjusted.
However, the options in this combobox are very wide and therefore I
cannot see the whole text of the option.
In order to fix this I would like to be able to adjust the width of the
options to make them wider when I click on the drop down box. Is this
possible?

Thanks,

Chris

If you mean a standard select control with "combobox"? No. (JS cannot
do what CSS cannot do.) Make the text shorter, try the `title' attribute
of the `option' element or use radiobuttons.
