Re: IE Bug

Thanks for the info. But in FireFox the dropdown menu part will
automatically extend to fit the width of the long text without change the
width of the combobox part. I recall seeing a javascript hack somewhere to
solve this problem by openning a popup that masks the original dropdown and
adjust the text width in the popup... Well, I guess I have to find it myself
and show it here..

Thanks!
