I've got a piece of JavaScript for a drop down menu. The width of the menu is only as wide as the longest menu item. Is there a form attribute I could to specify how wide the drop down is? It looks really weird if there are two menus side-by-side and one is significantly longer than the other.

Width of Drop Down Menu

One thing you can do (and this is extremely crude; if there's a better way, by all means do it with code if you can) is just make the longest string for each drop-down menu the same length. The shorter ones just get spaces added to them or something. That's really crude and I don't recommend it, but it's a possibility. <p>Liam Morley<br><a href=mailto:lmorley@wpi.edu>lmorley@wpi.edu</a><br><a href=] :: imotic :: website :: [</a><br>"light the deep, and bring silence to the world.<br>

that would have mixed results depending on the browser. Some browsers are likely to resize the drop-down to fit the table while others are likely to resize the table to fit the drop-down. <p>Liam Morley<br><a href=mailto:lmorley@wpi.edu>lmorley@wpi.edu</a><br><a href=] :: imotic :: website :: [</a><br>"light the deep, and bring silence to the world.<br>
