 * I have been attempting to modify the width of the drop down menu of a form i 
   created in CF7. I have found several mentions all over the web but none of them
   seem to work. I was able to adjust the color, font, field height, etc by creating
   the code below:
 *     ```
       .wpcf7 select
       { outline: none;
         font-size:16px;
         font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
         height: 30px;
         color: black;
         width: 50%;
         }
       ```
   
 * However, the width attribute does nothing to affect the size of the field. I 
   have tried setting a size in px, and percent.
 * Am I using the correct attribute? Is there somewhere else I can edit this? Is
   is supposed to auto-size on the content? (which, still makes no sense because
   my content is 3 words or less and it spans the width of the site)
 * Can’t post link to site yet as i’m still doing heavy devving at the moment, but
   if absolutely necessary, I will.
