  <p>I have a drop down list which is populated by the database.  Its value field contains the record's id, and its option field contains record's text. But the record's text entries are very long and make the drop down so wide that it totally changes the appearance of my webpage.  When I cut down the width it also cuts down the text displayed.  Is there any way I can make the web page look good and still allow the user to see the full text (like wrapping, scrolling, or something like that)?</p>
  
  <p>How can I handle this?</p>
