Formatting <Select> element

I am looking for a way to format my dropdown <select> element so that the options are as wide as need to be and the <select> element itself is of a fixed width.
I understand that it is not possible to achieve this with standard HTML.
The only configurable style option being the width that will make equal <select> and options width anyway.

Is there any thirdparty library/control that implements the desired functionality (other than ASP.net AJAX as I am not using .NET)

Regards,
Stan.

Not exactly sure what your getting at either. But it sounds like you should look into DOM. There you should be able to manipulate the select object.
