I have a select box that only displays one field.
When the user clicks on the drop down box, I would like to display 4 fields wide.

Is this possible?
 
Select boxes in html can only display one "field in width". Can you restate what you want?

If you want to show for options at the same time, effectively changing the dropdown box to a list, use size="4". If you want to control how many items appear when you open the dropdown box, this cannot be done without programming your own dropdown.
 
I have a select box that shows
Name: Bob
(Bob is the first row in my select box)
When user clicks on the arrow of my select box I would like to display
Name: Bob
Bob T:555-2222 W:333-3333 H:911-2222
Tim T:333-2222 W:444-4444 H:911-3333

I am not sure what is involved with programming my own dropdown box.
