Sharan, I think the right way to code long lines is by inserting the return
where you want it.

<option value="administration">Administration, Management,&#xd; Marketing,
Realty Etc.</option>

If a simple style like

option{white-space:pre}

works well enough for you (firefox likes it) you are done, otherwise you'll
have to re-code the <select> to an equivalent tag using a plugin. (which
Glen mentioned)

Yes Glen,
  here is the page which i m talking about :
http://akswebsolutions.com/projects/jobsfed3/index3.html

At the bottom under the occupations title you can see three select
boxes. now i can't increase their width but some entries may be longer
than the width of the select box. So i want that the longer entries
automatically wrap, so that the visitor can see the complete option.
