I have a dropdown that has a lot of text and makes the width of the table go out beyond the specified width. I know how to control the width of the dropdown but my text gets cut off. How do I allow all text to be read when clicked on?

Apart from making the text smaller, or shortening the length of the text in the meu (which you have probably found a good reason not to do) I would suggest using onmouseover to show the hidden text. I'm guessing that when you click on an item it would take you to a different page, so showing the hidden text when you click on it would be pointless since the new page will be loaded............etc.
I can't remember how to do this, but changing the overflow of the text on the dropdown would be the best thing to do

I think this would look messy though, so other suggestions would be better

i'm kind of new to this world, but i think this might be able to help point you the right direction. in the menu_var.js, there is a command "var MenuWrap=1;" that should: MenuWrap
Number 1 or 0- When set to 1 unfolding items are wrapped when the menu doesn't fit on the window. i wish i could explain this more, but, i'm a novice. hope this might get something rolling for you.
