How can change width of dropdown list?

Question

I have a listbox and I want to decrease its width.

Here is my code:

<select name="wgtmsr" id="wgtmsr" style="width: 50px;">
  <option value="kg">Kg</option>
  <option value="gm">Gm</option>
  <option value="pound">Pound</option>
  <option value="MetricTon">Metric ton</option>
  <option value="litre">Litre</option>
  <option value="ounce">Ounce</option>
</select>

This code works on IE 6 but not in Mozilla Firefox (latest version). Can anybody please tell me how I can decrease the width of the dropdown list on Firefox?

Answer 1

Try this code:

<select name="wgtmsr" id="wgtmsr">
<option value="kg">Kg</option>
<option value="gm">Gm</option>
<option value="pound">Pound</option>
<option value="MetricTon">Metric ton</option>
<option value="litre">Litre</option>
<option value="ounce">Ounce</option>
</select>

CSS:

#wgtmsr{
 width:150px;   
}

If you want to change the width of the option you can do this in your css:

#wgtmsr option{
  width:150px;   
}

Maybe you have a conflict in your css rules that override the width of your select
