Wrap text (i.e. description) in html drop down box

[Guest]

Hi,

I have a drop down box with width=120px.
The box length cannot be extended because of design issue.
How can I wrap text in html drop down box ?

Thanks,

Rocco

Rocco,

If it is not a part of the DOM for HTML (Document Object Model) and in my
idea that is not, than you cannot do it.

I hope this helps,

You cannot because such functionality is not part of the HTML specification.
You can, however, work to create your own dropdown using DHTML and
JavaScript.
