resize the "select name" tag

[tamayo]

hi, I´m trying to change the "width" of the "select name" tag, when I use "size" option it happens that change into a "list box style control" and I don´t want that, I want a "combobox style" but larger.

the second question is: is there a way to the select name tag doesn´t select the first option? I mean, I want that when the webpage is loaded the value of the select name will be "a blank space"

thanks for all your help
