title: controlling the width for a select box
body: <p>i was trying to change the width of a particular optional value under <code>&lt;select&gt;</code> attribute, something like <a href="http://jsbin.com/acado/6" rel="nofollow">this</a>. But i am getting troubled as in IE the select box along with the option value gets expanded. Is there any simple way to make the <code>&lt;option&gt;</code> only to expand and not the <code>&lt;select&gt;</code> box.. mainly in IE ....</p>
