I'm > wondering if anyone has seen a way of making lines wrap Multiple selects are a HTML/CSS/browser weakness. My recommendation is to use checkboxes, styled so they highlight when :selected and the box doesn't show, named as an array, e.g., name="multiSelect[]"; put them all in a ul or ol and make wrapping easy.

[jQuery] Multiple select box line wrap
Hi all I'm have a fixed width on a multiple select box. The problem is, some of the options are longer than the width and by default the lines won't wrap. I'm wondering if anyone has seen a way of making lines wrap using either CSS or JQuery. I've added a title to each option, so you can get the full content if you hover over an item, but really need the text to wrap. Here's how the HTML code looks: Item 1 - brief description lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectateur adipscing elit. Item 2 - brief description lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectateur adipscing elit. Item 3 - brief description lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectateur adipscing elit. Would appreciate any help. Cheers Paul
