Have you tried using a stylesheet to help out?
Ex. The following does some inline styling and then assigns our user-defined
style "selectskinny" to the <html:select...> tag.
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.selectskinny {
width: 50px ;
color: green ;
font-family: arial ;
font-size: 8pt ;
}
-->
</style>
<html:select property="addressstate" size="1"
styleClass="selectskinny"
disabled="<%=
billingForm.getFormEditFields() %>">
