AKAIK drop-downs are one line only, i.e. there is no way to make text wrap. The usual solution is to set the title attribute of each option element so that at least the user can hover over an option to see its full text, but it's a sub-optimal solution really.

If I set a width in the CSS on the drop down, the text will not wrap and be cut off. I don't want to have to set a full width as the drop down is reminder answers and will be a bit long. Does any one know how to control the drop down width and to make it so the text wraps. Any help would be great! Example code is: <form> <label for="question">Reminder question:</label> <select name="" id="question" width="200" style="width:200px;"> <option>Select a Reminder Question</option> <option>What is the first and last name of your first boyfriend or girlfriend? </option> <option>Which phone number do you remember most from your childhood?</option> <option>What was your favorite place to visit as a child? </option> <option>Who is your favorite actor, musician, or artist?</option> </select> </form> Thanks Jamie ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
