 * Hi,
    My dropdown select box stretches across the entire width of the div, even
   though the longest value in the list is about 20 characters.
 * How do I make it resize to the length of the longest value?
 * Thanks,
    Mike

 * The actual look of CF7 forms on your website will depend largely on the current
   WordPress theme used and the CSS styling that theme applies to standard HTML 
   form elements. To change the style of your CF7 forms you would need to edit the
   CSS style sheets used by your WordPress theme.
 * See [Styling Contact Form 7 Forms](http://kb.cf7skins.com/styling-contact-form-7-forms/)
   for a general explanation of styling CF7 forms using CSS.
 * If you find you need more detailed advice, after reading and working through 
   the above link, please include a link to your Contact Form 7 form, so others 
   here can examine your form in detail using [Firebug](https://getfirebug.com/)
   or [Chrome Dev Tools](https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/) 
   to understand the CSS used for your CF7 form elements and provide you with a 
   possible solution.
