is there any way to find out what the "physical" width of a select is. o.style.width only returns the value set with css, i would like to know what width occures when you don't set a style (ie. allow the browser to size based on content)
is this possible?
o.style.offsetWidth
I think it might be outside the style object like
o.offsetWidth
although I've never used it myself. It could be browser dependent too I suppose.

Kor is right offsetWidth isn't a style attribute.. (Thanks for catching that Kor :))...offsetWidth is supported by both IE and mozilla http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/getstyles.html
