Yes, I agree, but when you display all the rows (5 in this case) the row
with the maximum number of characters will determine the width of the drop
down menu.
Or, alternatively, he could wrap the select in a table <td width="12%">. I
say table knowing that this is deprecated in preference to CSS and div's.
But same idea.

Thanks and regards
