viewing complete SELECT options

[billkeziah]

I have populated a select tag with options from a query. Because the text is lengthy, I have limited the size of the select box (style="width: 44em&quot. However, the text that does not display due to the width control is vital information. Is there anyway I can allow the user to see the entire text, whil limiting the size of the select box?

You could use javascript to populate the text field with the value.

e.g
<form name=&quot;myform&quot;>
<select name=&quot;OptList&quot; onchange=&quot;myform.showText.value = myform.OptList.options[myform.OptList.selectedIndex].value&quot;>

<option value=&quot;blah&quot;>
---add options here ---

<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;showText&quot; value=&quot;&quot;>

</form>
