Are you saying the query results is lengthy (i.e.. a lot of records) OR the
data is lengthy?
If you are referring to the length of the data return, I could be wrong but
as far as I know you can't 'wrap' information in a select dropdown. What
you can do however, is just determine the max length you want your data to
be (say 25 characters). Then just do:
<select name="barrier">
<option value="0" selected></option>
<cfoutput query=qry_get_barriers>
<option value="#rec_id#"><cfif len(issue) GT 25>#Left(issue,
25)#<cfelse>#issue#</cfif></option>
</cfoutput>
</select>
You could also use CSS and set a class for a smaller font size and use that
class on the select/option, thus allowing you to fit more in the same space.
