Hello, I've started using CMSs not very long ago. The first one I looked at was WordPress which has some great features. It was also easier to understand themes and I can use PHP. And there are so many plugins around I can use. Now, I have a site that I am building in Textpattern and some

I already have set the width on the option. The thing is, that the selected value (which also appears when no dropdown items are showing) is a lot smaller than some of the options. Due to a limited amount of space on the page I've had to fix the select width... -Original Message- From: lis

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 t
