Im working right now at a website with a form that a user needs to fill in. Text fields have a size of 24 characters, so how can i make a drop down menu that appears above the text fields appear the same size so it looks aligned?

@gil_davisOct 23.2007 — You can either use CSS to size both, or use some script to set the width of the select equal to the width of the text box.
<i>
</i>&lt;select ... style="width: 100px"&gt;
...
&lt;input type="text" ... style="width: 100px"&gt;

I don't know if 24 characters will fit into 100px, but you can figure it out.

</i>select {
width:25em;
}

em = character-size, its good to use that instead of pix for accessibility reasons (ie, poeple who have to use enlarged text).
