select form help
I need to know what options I have to fix this drop down list. [ http://www.ifae.com/cedric/website/cgi-bin/inventoryviewer.cgi?process=catagoryview&db=Cabinets-Semainiers-Vitrines.db ] As you can see I am cutting the text down so that it doesn't mess up the sizing of my tables. What options do I have to expand this text? I figure I can do it with css, relatively easy by changing the font and/or size. But how compatible is that with the current browsers? Don't want it showing up screwy on Mac and fine on windows..not acceptable. Not going to show two different sites either, just not reasonable.
Thanks for your time

CSS font-size, font-color, and font-style is compatible with every modern browser...and by modern I mean any browser in the last 2 (I believe) years.

(actually, it's more like seven for universal support and ten for initial support)
You can truncate the list if it's dynamically generated to a specific number of characters. It may be easier to redesign the site slightly so that it has the space to expand for increased comprehension by the user as well. e.g. across the top and/or bottom instead of a column.

css doesn't respond at all in forms with safari browser under os x
That is the OS i'm working on and the client has. Can't neglect an OS, especially its standard browser. I am truncating the list now and it cuts some of the words down, which I thought would be acceptable, but I guess not. Anyone got any info on CSS and safari? I'm gonna google it now.

You should probably validate your code beforehand.
& <script> both belong INSIDE the element, not alone in the element (which can contain only and ).
P.S. For those at home watching, that was my 5,000th post! Eep!

Also, Safari doesn't allow most form styling because it follows the OS settings, not the designer's.
