Topic: ListBox behavior FireFox vs. Internet Explorer

Had a strange issue when comparing IE vs. FF when I have a long item name.

The searchbox in FF showed the complete name, but in IE it only showed parts of the name and didn't expand the searchbox related to the width of the name.

Finally I decided to adjust the default.css to match the output as shown on the image above.
Hope this will help someone else.

PS. If there is a better solution, please let me know.

Re: ListBox behavior FireFox vs. Internet Explorer

This fix probably will not work on IE8 (I have read expression is not supported in css anymore), but you can try to set this.style.width=200px and this.style.width=''  in select onfocus/onblur handlers repectively (see insert.js).
Unfortunately I have no access to Win nor IE, so I can't check this solution myself.
