Linebreaks inside select pull down

[Anoop Krishnan]

I have a pulldown(<select></select> with the following contents
Name
Roll Number
Date (YYYY-MM-DD)
but I want to restrict the size of the pulldown to the length of "Roll Number" as follows
Name
Roll Number
Date
(YYYY-MM-DD)
but "Date" & "(YYYY-MM-DD)" must be treated as a single entry
I tried Date<br>(YYYY-MM-DD) but it do not work out

hi Anoop,
i don't think we can do anything like that.
btw, i have never seen select object for non-matching items. you have Name, Roll Number etc which are non-matching. i have usually used select object for list of values for a particular item. e.g. list of names , list of roll numbers...
i wonder why do you need a selection list for such heterogenous items??
if there arent many entries in the selection list then you better use checkboxes...
thanks
