It sounds like you want to set the select box to something wider than the
product names so that it always comes out the same width. There is likely
some elegant way to do this, but a quick fix would be to fill one of the
<option> cells with a line of unprintable characters;. You could make it
the first <option> cell, the one usually blank, or put it last behind your
products. The code would look something like:
print "<option> ..."; // use as
many 's as needed.
Hope this helps.
