Question

drop down box too large for screen

I have data for a drop down box that is up to 250 digits. This places the drop down box outside the range of the screen. I need to limit the drop down box to 150 digits on the screen but also need to display the extra 100 digits somehow. Is there a way to wrap the information to the next line of the drop down box? Or like text boxes, allow the user to space over the line and see the 100 digits not being displayed?

You can use the title attribute of the option element if I understand

you correctly:

I'm not sure you do understand. Let me give you a sample of the list I'm

trying to create. These are insurance classifications.

Air Conditioning Systems or Equipment - installation, servicing or repair -

no sales or storage

Ambulance Service, First Aid or Rescue Squads - Municipal

Mail Order Houses Note: Determine Rate Group and Class Limit by type of

merchandise

Warehouses - Public - Household goods storage but with no storage of

fibers, oils, petroleum products, rags, fireworks, matches or explosives

Ah, ok. I think you'll need to use a custom drop-down component,

]]> doesn't wrap it's content. Something like:
