No, the width must be "60" because of the whole design of the page. I know that 
i can increase the size of "200" or so but for the design is that really bad.

Firefox and other browsers do it very well and make the opend option as so big 
as the biggest entry in there. Internet Explorer cut the entries and make the 
openend options so width as defined in the select, also in version 7.0. I have 
found several solution with javascript to build a new option tag with "ul" tags 
etc. But i think tha'ts not a good solution. What happens when the user has 
javascript disabled. And the implementation needs a lot of time.

My question is there any other solution for that problem? 
Is there any solution with tapestry to build in other ways dropdowns? I use 
normally the PropertySelection component. With the normal select and option 
component i have the same problem. 

Any help is welcome. 

Kind Regardas
Christian
