I know that I've heard several other people asking for this type of enhancement in the future - at least as far as the trackback drop down goes.  So maybe it will make it into the next release?

If you want to edit the MT files, I believe that if you edit the file tmpl\cms\bm_entry.tmpl you could add widths to the input tags.  

Do so at your own risk, though, and make sure you have a backup copy of the real template in case something goes wrong.  And you'd have to redo this hack with next upgrade as well.

Oh yeah - good morning, Sara!!! wink.gif

Ok, now that I have the bookmarklet all set up, I have found I need a bigger window for the pull-downs. Especially with the track back. The post/category names can be long, I know mine are!

Is there a way to specify the width? Point me in the right direction, please, thanks!

Thanks for the direction, Kristine!

It worked too! smile.gif

CODE
<TMPL_IF NAME=TO_PING_URL_LOOP>
    <font class="title">Select a TrackBack entry to ping:</font><br>
    <select name="to_ping_urls" class="menu-long">


I went into the bm_entry.tmpl and added the "-long" to the
pull-down menu. It was just at menu as the class. I did it for the blogs as well.

How did I find this out? I pulled up the styles-site.css that's in the main index directory and I found the length.

I do have a back-up copy, though! Thank you for reminding me to do this...as you know I forget to sometimes!
