Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Not in the address bar. Ah well. I can live without it, obviously.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Have you ever said anything mean about Bill Gates?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

What version of IE are you using?

I just downloaded the new one -- 7? But they've never really worked for me.

In a web page, is it possible to make a combo box (dropdown box) wider just when you pull down the selection? So the combo box itself would remain the same width and only the pulled down stuff would be wider?

We could use Javascript to do this....

eta: This would only be used for IE.

I don't know if you could do it with a "real" combo box, but you could certainly design a fake combo box with those properties using CSS and Javascript.

And by "you", I mean someone with more knowledge of CSS than I.
