How to make a Jump Menu's width expand?

[islenska]

Hi...I'd like to create a jump menu in DW that displays as a fixed width
before/after its clicked, but then when clicked it expands to accomodate the
longest item in the menu. Is this possible??

An example of what i'm talking about is here:

All of the jump menus on the right are the same size, but as soon as you click
on them they expand to accomodate..

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

hi islenska

did you ever get an answer to this question outside the MM forum? i see not a
soul responded here.

i am having the same issue. am forcing the width of jump/dropdown menus with
css for the inactive state. in all browers except IE for PC they expend on
click to the max width of longest menu option. in IE the menu remains the
forced (narrow) width.

figures. why does microsoft suck so hard?

btw, looked at your example page. you may want to include a:

<option selected> - Select a Headset- </option> etc. etc.
for all your dropdowns. that way they aren't just blank and the user gets
confirmation of what exactly the dropdown contains.

just a thought.
