Solution 1

Write a JavaScript function which sets the width of the DropDownList to the required width and call this function onfocus of the DropDownList.

So something like:

XML

<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" Width="60px" onfocus="javascript:changeWidth();">
</asp:DropDownList>

Javascript:

JavaScript

function changeWidth()
    {
        document.getElementById("DropDownList1").style.width = "150px";
    }
