select form width

[jwk811]

i have a select input on a form. i want the options to be long but the box they click smaller and cut off so when they click it it shows everything bigger.

 

i tried stlying width and overflow hidden and stuff but i cant seem to get it to work. is this even possible?

Try maybe setting the select tag to a certain name, and setting the style of the select box through a .name class in a CSS file. And then, through javascript, set up an 'onClick' event that changes the name of the select tag. The new name would then link to a different CSS class, where the size of the element is bigger. Ex:

 

select name="class1" onClick="(set this.name.value to class2)"

 

and in CSS

 

.class1

width: 100px;

 

.class2

width: 200px;

 

Something like that.

The code I provided wasn't exact syntax.
