Select box hides the lengthy text as its option when displayed in IE whereas it is displayed perfect with Firefox

Question

Select box hides the lengthy text as its option when displayed in IE whereas it is displayed perfect with Firefox, How can I rectify this issue...

<select name="product" id="product" style="width:135px;" onChange="javascript:refill();bannersize();">
    <option value="">Select Product</option>
    <?php while($result=mysql_fetch_object($sql_query))
    {
    ?>
    <option value="<?php echo $result->categories_id;?>"><?php echo $result->categories_name;?></option>
    <?php 
    }
    ?>
</select>

Show the finished rendered HTML code please, the PHP parts are not really relevant. — Pekka, Jun 03 '10 at 12:03

See this question, the answer uses the YUI library: Dropdownlist width in IE

This page also has a nice solution: http://www.dougboude.com/blog/1/2008/05/Viewing-Option-Text-in-IE7-thats-Wider-than-the-Select-List.cfm
