Length for combobox

[Serban]

I have a combobox with very long options.
First I want to display the control just on 15 characters and just when the user click the combo to display the full options.
How can I do that?

Thanks

Not sure...it's the nature of the HTML <SELECT> element to automatically stretch to the width of the maximum <OPTION> element.

You could try using a STYLE tag. I know for a fact it will make a SELECT box wider than the widest OPTION, but I don't know if it will do what you want it to do.

<SELECT NAME=&quot;...&quot; STYLE=&quot;width:250px;&quot;>
   <OPTION>

Something

</OPTION>
</SELECT>
