drop-down menu width

I am limiting the width of a drop-down menu using the following:
<select name="select" style="width:75px;">
<option>blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah</option>
</select>

Is there a way to get the menu to display the entire contents when it is
opened up? This seems to be the case in Mozilla, but not IE.

Thanks,
Don Hinshaw
