Javascript Control Style in creating a new element

[akoymakoy]

hi
i have this function which sets the attribute of my select element:

var cell4 = row.insertCell(4);
var selectCost = document.createElement("select");
setAttributeForElementSelect(selectCost , 'COST_'+nextRow , '80' );

function setAttributeForElementSelect(element,nameIDandTitle,width){
			element.setAttribute('id',nameIDandTitle);
			element.setAttribute('title',nameIDandTitle);			
			element.setAttribute('name',nameIDandTitle);			
			element.setAttribute('width',width);	
}

width doesn't work in adjusting the size

how do i set the width of my select?

Thanks in advance

width doesn't work in adjusting the size

of course not, width is not a valid attribute for select. so is width for any inline element (same goes for height, margin & padding).
