Limit the width of an html dropdown menu

[John Posada <jposada01 -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Hi, guys...

I'm using an intranet page to allow users to access a list of PDF
reports using an HTML dropdown list. There could end up being
hundreds of reports, but that isn't the problem.

The problem is that a dropdown list will expand width-wise to the
width of the longest entry on the list. Some of these reports have
very long titles and I end up with a very wide dropdown box.

I searched for a parameter that will allow me to specify the width
and all I can find is a setting that tells how many lines to display,
not to limit the width.

Anything defined for that?

Thanks
