I would like to produce a select box in Netscape 4, that will adjust in size when the window is resized and fill the width of the table cell. I have tried the following code.

Code: 
<form>
<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=&quot;100%&quot; border=0>
<TR vAlign=top>
<TD width=&quot;33%&quot;>Inputs/Outputs</TD>
<TD width=&quot;33%&quot;>Accessories</TD>
<TD width=&quot;33%&quot;>Voltage</TD></TR>
<TR vAlign=top>
<TD width=&quot;33%&quot;><SELECT id=i size=7 name=io style=&quot;width:100%&quot;><option>optihjghjgghjon</SELECT></TD>
<TD width=&quot;33%&quot;><SELECT id=ac size=7 name=accessories style=&quot;width:100%&quot;><option>option</SELECT></TD>
<TD width=&quot;33%&quot;><SELECT id=vo size=7 name=voltage style=&quot;width:100%&quot;><option>option</SELECT></TD></TR>
</TABLE>
</form>

This code works fine in Internet Explorer.
Anyone got any ideas on how to get the same effect in Netscape 4.

Thanks

netscape 4 reacts pretty badly in general to any resizing of the browser window. :-(

one way around this is to reload the page onresize something like

<body onresize=&quot;if(document.layers)window.location.reload();&quot;>

hope this helps

I've already got the refresh incorporated in my code. The main problem is that Netscape ignores the 'style=&quot;width:100%&quot;', as I am trying to get the select box to fill the width of the table cell.

Any more ideas?

I had similar NS4 <SELECT> problems (the size issue).

I had to &quot;pre-fill&quot; the options with dummy data to get the desired width.

I think I'll have to give up on this problem. I tried the pre fill method but the problem with that is that when the window is then made smaller the select boxes stay the same width. Thanks anyway.
