I've got several drop down boxes in the same column and they're all slightly different widths. Is there a way to force them all to be the width of the widest one?

Thx,
Spinweb

Try css:

<select style="width:120;height:20">
<option>etc

:D

Thanks. It works great, until I send it to the server and some other include undoes the style! Have to look into that later.

Don't you hate when that happens?

how would an include undo the style? you must have some conflicting CSS.

Would using " " to even out the # of characters to that of the widest select list work... or is that a bad idea?

zoobie, you forgot the px I believe.
