Q67 How can I control the width of a select box?

You can increase the width by padding out an entry with multiple ' '.

Alternatively you could have a dummy entry with '-------------' characters.

James Albert also points out:

You can also set the width of a select box through CSS:

<select name="province" size="1" style="width: 50mm">
...
</select>
