Hi ,
I'm faced with a problem with the combobox element . I have a form , with many input fields and combo boxes . I have a certain combobox within this form that has to fit within it's row of inputs . I set the width to 170 which fits well . However the text inside this combobox , is expected to become quite long , maybe 6 7 words . I can live with that text not showing as the combobox is not opened , but once it's opened , and the mouse goes over a 6 word sentence , unlike the html comboboxes , the full sentece is not shown . Basically if i have :
"Text text text text text text"
no matter what i do the user will allways see :
"Text text tex" .
Is there an option that will automatically make the dropdown list as wide as the widest piece of text in it ?
