width of "select"

I have a form in my html and a <select> inside the form. I did no
specify the width of the <select>. Since one of the options in the
select has a very long text, the <select> filed takes a lot of space in
the page. Can I specify the width of the select? I want to make it
samller in the page, but when the user click the pull down list, the
who text is shown in the options.

Thanks,

Use CSS. This isn't a javascript question, for more help discuss in:
