    Default help with drop down box

    hi i have a drop down list for categories whose basic width is 175 px; but the values are quite long. on clicking on the drop down its displaying the values to wards the right and in doing so the complete values are not being displayed as there isnt much space on the right.
    is there any method of displaying the values to the left of the box?
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Suk

    molendijk,

    Why does the drop down arrow disappear from the the select box?

    This solution is exactly what i was looking for, i just need the arrow to stay.

    That's intentional.
    I made a quick modification that maintains the arrow, see this. There's a download. (The links don't work, because we just have one page).

    I See.

    Is there a way to make the arrow.gif clickable to perform the same function as when you click on the text?

    I didn't try that, but it should be possible to do it in the object-tag that goes with every select tag. Try an alert to see if that works.
