Hi, can anyone help me, with what i assume is a common problem, where i have a dropdown list in the top right of my website. The problem is that on smaller screen resolutions the options in the dropdown disappear off the right hand edge of the window. Is
there any way that, using css and/or javascript, the edge of the window can be detected and the options get left aligned so they do not disappear outside of the browser?

CSS3 Media Queries may help

Thanks but i need a solution that does not rely on CSS3, it has to work in IE 6 and above and other browsers also.

Hi,
Don't consider IE6, since it's depreciated!
I think you are using px for the width of the content! Instead use%. I mean width = 100% will fit to the browser window!
Hope it helps u...
