title: Dropdown list box goes as wide as needed even with width set
body: <p>I have a dropdown list box that displays data from my database. Problem is that some records are quite long so the width of the dropdown box extends past the side of my screen. I have a reasonible width set but it is not stopping the dropdown box from getting as wide as it needs to display each record. How can I set a fixed width on this?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" 
       DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1Usage" DataTextField="data_text" 
       DataValueField="ID" Width="280px"&gt;
  &lt;/asp:DropDownList&gt;here
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
