Re: Dynamic SELECT lists and Netscape

the easiest way to get around this is to write a fake select list. in 
netscape, the width stays the width of the original lists longest option 
text, and the number of elements visible without scrolling is the original 
number of options. this of course gets cut off around 11 i think? write a 
fake list with X number of spaces in the first option (you will need HTML 
spaces:  ) and X number of blank options after that in order to 
"reserve" the necessary space. netscape isn't anywhere near as dynamic with 
its content as IE. sorry - Cyanide_7
