<option value="1">Large Option Value 1 (One)</option>
<option value="2">Large Option Value 2 (One)</option>

</select>

hmmm....

i believed its not posible. I mean, not posible using <select>.
Another options is using pop-up box.
you create field text and a button.
when user click the button, the system pop-up a page that containt value of the list.

Or using javascript, with hide/unhide technique, you create small box with value of the list. when user click the button, system show the box.

hope this could help you.

I have never heard or seen anything like this.. doubt that it is possible with a select box.. go with javascript, flash or work ur brains out doing something imba with html/css.. very easy if you have a fast server and wanna do some ugly fixing.. like a link.. klick it and u come to site2.html where u have ur links.. nothing I recomend tho..

Uh, when I test it, the full values automatically are shown, no matter what the width is set to...

I don't think you can set a width for a drop down list?
