attribute "width" missing for "select" HTML tag (html:select)

           Summary: attribute "width" missing for "select" HTML tag
                    (html:select)
           Product: Struts
           Version: 1.1 Beta 1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Custom Tags
        AssignedTo: struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: eva@indelible.tv


In order to design appropriate HTML forms whose items all have uniform widths 
in all browsers, the "select" HTML tag (<html:select>) needs an additional 
attribute, namely the "width" attribute.

Unfortunately, using the CSS style tag, with the "width" attribute to designate 
the width, will not render the same width "select" item in both IE and Netscape 
4.x. For example, if we set style="width: 144px", this is rendered as a 
different width in Netscape 4.x than it is in IE, because of the fact that 
Netscape 4.x ignores this CSS attribute. This yields very messy-looking forms 
in the browsers, which is not acceptable to most clients.
