    Well, I'm glad we have this list; for some reason, that possibility escaped my notice :)  Thanks for the wake-up call, Kim; that worked just fine.
    NOW if I could only figure out how to format fixed-width columns *inside* the select box...

I don't know the unit of measurement it uses, but it works on selects, input boxes, buttons, etc. Cheers, Kim -----Original Message-----

Subject: [Javascript] SELECT size in IE


    This doesn't seem to be adjustable, but is there any way to fix the width of a SELECT in IE so that no matter what entries are in it, it's always the same size?  I'm currently filling it with a dummy entry made of underscores when empty, and padding the name value when I put rows into it, but without a fixed-width font, I'm not able to really maintain the width of the box.  Any thoughts?

Cheers,

Peter Brunone
