list menu.. 1

[coldfused]

I know that the list menu is only as long in width as the longest text string inside the list..

However, I need the list menu to be longer than the longest string to have it fit in properly with the rest of the fields in a form i'm building..

Is it possible to set the size of a list menu regardless of the longest string size inside?

Thanks in advance..

if you are referring to a select box...

<select name=&quot;mystuff&quot; style=&quot;width:300px;&quot;>

This will make it 300px long (wide) no matter even if the text is longer or shorter.

this works in browsers that understand css... forget about pre NS6 though.

You can set all of your fields to be identical...
<style type=&quot;text/css&quot;>
.boxer {width:300px;}
</style>

<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;myname&quot; class=&quot;boxer&quot;>

<textarea name=&quot;mycomments&quot; rows=&quot;4&quot; cols=&quot;20&quot; class=&quot;boxer&quot;></textarea>

<select name=&quot;mystuff&quot; class=&quot;boxer&quot;>

<input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot; class=&quot;boxer&quot;>


You can also apply background-color and color and font-family, size etc... to make all the fields pretty
