DropDownList Width

[WorkerBeeJ]

Is it possible to set the width of a dropdownlist, but to have the dropdown expand (if necessary) to the width of the widest item when the user clicks on the dropdown? I'd like to keep the table containing this dropdown looking clean and justified, but my list items are getting cut off if I just specify the width of the dropdownlist. (I'm retrieving values from a database, so I don't know what the data items are beforehand).

Thanks!

The solution is in C#; if you need VB you might use the C# to VB translator located at:

...I've had success with the latter, being new to ASP.NET myself and so find these tools helpful.
