Re: hi

It sounds like you want to set the select box to something wider than the product names so that it always comes out the same width. There is likely some elegant way to do this, but a quick fix would be to fill one of the <option> cells with a line of unprintable characters;. You could make it the first <option> cell, the one usually blank, or put it last behind your products. The code would look something like: print "<option> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ..."; // use as many &nbsp;'s as needed. Hope this helps.
