    Default Form Pull-Down Width

    I have a pull-down list performing a search on a page that is giving me layout
    problems. The width of the pull-down seems to be determined by the longest text
    in the list. This is forcing my left navigation to become to wide which throws
    the layout off. Please take a look at the site at

    [url]http://www.businessreferralsearch.com/[/url]

    Once you're on the site, look for the "Free Quick Search" on the left.

    I'm looking for a way to force that pull-down to be a given width so my
    navigation bar stays consistent through the site. Any help would be highly
    appreciated.

    Default Re: Form Pull-Down Width

    You can use CSS to control the size of the select field.

    .eInputs{
    font-family: verdana, arial;
    font-size: 8pt;
    color: black;
    width:150px;
    }

    However, be aware that this will truncate the text inside of IE. I don't
    remember how Mozilla browsers behave in this area...

    It sure worked for me!!

    Thanks so much for this tip. And thanks to steggy111 for asking the question
    here. I've been searching and searching for the answer to this dilemma. I had
    given up. Serendipity is so wonderful. I was actually looking for answers to a
    probablye bug in DW8 but went ahead and submitted a bug report instead of
    asking here.
