style="width=100%" is incorrect syntax, it should be "width: 100%". But
it doesn't matter, because the width of the <li> should be the full
available width anyway (assuming you haven't floated it or anything).

Something has to determine that width-- you talk about the text being
longer than the "listbox width" but that width is a function of many
things, including the text, and probably other features of the table.
Post a URL because it's not clear what the exact problem is.
