CSS

For IE 8 there is a simple css-based solution:

select:focus {
    width: auto;
    position: relative;
}

OR

CSS

select {
    width: 150px; /* Or whatever width you want. */
}
select.expand {
    width: auto;
}

All you need to do is to add the class wide to the dropdown element(s) in question.

HTML

<select class="wide">
    ...
</select>
