This is ridiculous! 

I just tried setting the width for the option

#xxxxx select option{
width: 500px;
}

And it works in FF but not IE :(

Because it's IE and IE often does things its own way which can be a PITA

but something you just have to live with. As far as I know, there's no
way  
around your problem in IE - you either give your select a width wide  
enough to cover the longest option, reduce your option text, or put up  
with IE truncating the options.
