I've bugged it here: http://jquery.com/plugins/node/787 and here: http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/1870 but I'm wondering if any one has any ideas for a workaround (other than switching browsers unfortunately) . Basically, in IE6 the width() on a select box (or it's surrounding div/span) is not updated when wide options are added to the select. It works great in Firefox, but that doesn't help me too much.
The basic problem is this. I have a row of select boxes that need to be of minimum widths (ie. no defined width). Then at the end of this row there is a "subtotal" column, all of which works fine. Except that below these rows I'd like to have a total column that is aligned with the subtotal columns. All of this would be trivial of course if I used tables, but for various reasons the layout must remain div based. Any suggestions?
