Give this a try. I have it formatted so nicely and hope you can read it after it gets mashed by the Internet.

< div style=backgroundcolor:black;
position:absolute;left:0;top:0;height:50;width:50;z-index:2 >
< select style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt;
z-index:1;
HEIGHT: 20px;
LEFT: 2px;
POSITION: absolute;
TOP: 15px;
width=43px">
< option value="Hi">Hi< /option >
< option value="Bye">Bye< /option >

< /select>
< /div>

Width as I said seems to do nothing if you put in a long word - the cbo will automatically adjust to the new width and drive itself out of the area you designed it for, towards the viewer right.

If you need to drive it from a table let me know.
