Answer 1

+1 A:

I'm afraid you can't. Even in the best of times there is very little control for dropdown boxes and IE6 is usually considered the worst of times.

Answer 2

A:

A quick'n'dirty I just managed to trial-and-error myself to (the Yahoo hack is bloated, but better if you want animated growth/shrinking):

<html>
<body>
  <select style="width:100px;" onmouseover="this.style.width='auto'; this.focus();" onblur="this.style.width='100px';">
    <option>Tiny</option>
    <option>Und das verrry, verrrry, verrrrrrrrrrry long one!</option>
  </select>
</body>
</html>
