Option length

How to level the length of all options in a select element if the text for each options has different size?.

Thanks

You would need a javascript resolution to help with this problem...

Actually I did it with CSS this way:
select {color:blue;font-weight:bold;width:200;background-color:white;}

This example will affect all selects so if you want to have separate ones for different selects then set up a class name for each one. For example:
.selecta{color:blue;font-weight:bold;width:200;background-color:white;}

Then in your select refer to it this way:
<select class="selecta" ...>

That set's the width of the box... However, he is asking how he can level the text inside the box, if the text is of varying lengths...

In that case we will need to know some more about how the select is created. If it is being created using javascript then the text could be "choped" off at a certain length. If it is static using HTML then not much can be done other than CSS.

If it's dynamic, using ASP/JSP/ColdFusion/PHP/others, it can be truncated within the langauge before being passed to the <option>. I do this all the time in ColdFusion. I normally truncate at 27 characters and if the value is longer than 27, I add a "..." to the end of the text. I do however pass the entire string in the value since we don't want to pass truncated data, only display it truncated.

<select style="width:200px;"
