controlling <select> tag attributes

[jermine]

thanks for taking time to read this ...
my problem is this :

i have a select box that is initially empty and only populated by selecting a value from a previous select box, lets name it "parentSelect".
its width is the default or just simply uses this code :
<select name=&quot;select1&quot; multiple size=&quot;10&quot;>

once a value is selected from &quot;parentSelect&quot;, &quot;select1&quot; gets populated.... the new content's character length lets say reaches 200, the width of &quot;select1&quot; doesnt change... and the text inside is cut off or incomplete!

is there any way i can work around this, where the width adjusts based on the length of whats inside the box?

why not &quot;not&quot; specify the width so it auto expandes with the entries? You cannot mandate productivity, you must provide the tools to let people become their best.

you can do it with JS

onChange=&quot;document.framename.select1.size=200;&quot;

Note: Don't forget to put your own names in framename and select1.

Or, you could put the select in a div and instead of populating the select, write a new select to the div using innerHTML.
