    expand cells

    I was just wondering if anyone out there knows of a way to have a dropdown/select box set to a fixed width i.e. 12.5, but when you open it, the dropdown portion will automatically expand to the largest item in the list, and when you select the item, have the dropdown resize back to the 12.5 size?

    The only thing i could find online is

    Any ideas??

    Thanks
