Regular HTML select boxes (such as, e.g. found here), while being "chosen" are presented by the iPhone on a native widget that seems to totally ignore regular html font sizes and whatnot. It does some ellipsing when it goes too long, but the font is way too big for a list I want to present -- even on landscape, only about 35 characters can fit.

Is there any way to tell the iPhone to use a smaller font there?

This is not possible. Use radio buttons instead.

Also, you can create custom select boxes. If created the good way, it works great. One small misstep and the UI is a disaster.

When the dropdown has hundreds of options, radio buttons are hardly a useable alternative. :/
