[SOLVED] width settings in a dynamic select?

[simon551]

Hi,

I've tried to set the width of a dynamic select box.  I set the width to 150 but it is showing up on the page as about 700. Any idea how to fix this?

 

    <tr valign="baseline">
      <td nowrap align="left">Project:</td>
      <td colspan="4" width="150"><select name="ProjID">
        <option value="null" <?php if (!(strcmp("null", ((isset($_COOKIE["projID_default"]))?$_COOKIE["projID_default"]:"")))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>>--please select--</option>
        <?php
... and it goes on...

it looks like you are setting the width of the td to 150, but the select is much wider and it's stretching the td.

you need to use some css on the select to force its width, such as

 

<select name="ProjID" style="width: 150px;">
