I am assuming this is in a form, eg:
<select name="listbox">
<option value="1">Short</option>
<option value="2">Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious</option>
</select>
You could try overflow on it, but, you have to consider the user. Does
the user need to see the whole word?
As others have said, a URL would help.
