Peter Frueh of AjaxProgrammer shows how to solve the IE dropdown width issue by dynamically managing the IE dropdown width.
Problem is that it changes the width of the whole dropdown box rather than just the selected menu item, so it’s not very usable as it could and in most cases would screw up the layout.
Heard of a good solution that manages the IE dropdown the way Firefox and other browsers do? In case yes, drop a comment and let me know

You’re correct in that it does change the width of the entire select element, but it uses absolute positioning so that the expanded box does not affect page layout. Give it a try — but do let me know if you run into any quirks.
