Hi,

Im having trouble while trying to show full text of the different options included in a select when its width is limited.

The idea is to show the full text of the option (there are quite a lot of options that just differ in their last 2 letters, and they are not visible) while the mouse is over it (when selecting one of the N possible contained in the <select>). All I can obtain is the full text once an option is selected.

All ideas will be welcomed. Thank you.

try setting the style of your list as "width: auto;"

The idea is not having an auto adjustable combo, because the structure surrounding it would change it's appearence, and this is not an option. Thank you eventhough :)

Can you make the text wrap? Stick a br tag in it?
