Width of a drop-down box

L

Lori

I created a drop-down box using a table in an Access
database. I have two problems: First, how can I expand
the width of the box? I can't stretch the box - it is
really small.

Second, no data is populating the drop-down box...it is
blank. I verified I had the data in the source table.
any suggestions?

Thanks!

It should automatically extend itself redarding the length of data. If there
is no data in it, it shrinks to its minimum length.

width of the drop down is determined by the number of characters in the box (and
putting spaces in it won't help.)

I don't think applying a style (style: width="x") helps either.

I think that's a limitation of HTML not frontpage.

As far as I know, it can't be done.
