select list size?! width not working

[cm80]

Hi,
I have 2 select lists on my page and I am using the width attribute to set the size but its not working.
The actual code I have is as follows.
<SELECT size=1 name=&quot;name&quot; width=&quot;70&quot;>

Is there something I am missing? I have the exact same thing for the 2 select lists but they are both different sizes on the browser.
I have them nested in a table for presentation purposes. does this make a difference?

thanks

Try this:

<SELECT size=1 name=&quot;name&quot; size=&quot;70&quot;>

I hope this helps,

i thought size=&quot;xxx&quot; determined the height (in rows) of the list.

you should use style=&quot;width: 100px;&quot;

hope this helps,

Just so you know the <style> will only work in IE4+ and NS^ and not in NS4 or NS4.7... I have not failed; I merely found 100,000 different ways of not succeding...

Hey SecretSquirrel

After using the 100px code in the style of each <select> tag, the rest of the text gets cut. How to overcome this ? I want auto scroll function, so that the user can see the entire text, but with scroll, and not directly. How to do this ?

Help appreciated.
