Hi Bob,
not being on my main work station, I'll give it a try.
the select tag has a set width. There is a chance that IE is restricting
the list to that set width and using this set width as the view port of
the option list.
Look it up.
From experience i also notice that IE (IE6 in particular) can have
cross-browser CSS conflicts around the padding and margins being set
together and with a value of 0.
It may be nothing but a place to investigate. Try a search.
I also noticed how the list opened upwards for me, as opposed to a 'drop
down' combo box.
It seems to work fine in FireFox for me.
Also found validation error on the input tag on the select list form not
close in xhtml format.
Also is the javascript orientation for the list the best option.
Accessibility issues can rise. A 'Go' button could assist. I'm sure
there are better ideas from other members.

If you go to http://www.bobstestplace.com/aahid/
using Safari on the Mac
and click on either of the drop down form menus in the right column
you will see the option list open below the form menu select in a
window that is wide enough to view the entire name of each option.
This seems to be default behavior with Safari.
If you do the same with FireFox, some clipping occurs.
If you do the same with IE6, a lot of clipping occurs.
The question:
Any way to get the other browsers (and especially IE6) to display
like, or nearly like (I would be happy if IE6 was at least like FF),
Safari?
Thanks,
Bob
