drop down menu

[mary555]

is there a way to get a drop down menu to stay a certain size. i know you can assign it a certain size or width but its not working. when there is a large value in it, it will widen to however long the value is...

I've had the width being able to be set before. Try:

<select style="width:250px;">

or failing that:

<select style="width:250px; overflow:hidden;">

sorry that didn't work....this is my code:

<select name="Cause" width="50px" overflow:hidden;" id="Cause" onchange="frmL.submit()" tabindex="26">
<option value=""></option>
<% DO WHILE NOT CauseRS.EOF %>

<option value='<%= CauseRS("Cause")%>' <%if CauseRS("Cause")=ValComboCause then %> selected <%end if %> >
<%=CauseRS("Cause") %>
<%
CauseRS.MoveNext
Loop
CauseRS.Close
Set CauseRS=Nothing
%>
</select>

<table border = "1" width="752px" height="260px" style="table-layout:fixed;">



I had the width set too big

Also, doing it the way Dan showed (with the style attribute and values inside that) would've worked.
