Did you not read my post about there not being anything you can do to this
in IE?

I already have set the width on the option. The thing is, that the

space on the page I've had to fix the select width...

Why are you setting the width on the option and not the select box?

This is ridiculous!
I just tried setting the width for the option
#xxxxx select option{
width: 500px;
}
And it works in FF but not IE :(

why does it work the way I want it to in all other browsers? :-(
Because it's IE and IE often does things its own way which can be a PITA
but something you just have to live with. As far as I know, there's no
way
around your problem in IE - you either give your select a width wide
enough to cover the longest option, reduce your option text, or put up
with IE truncating the options.
