I have a html select with an option with a very long text. I wonder how to set the max-width of an option to a word wrap.

For exemple, I whant the option to wrap at 100px:

    <select style="width:100px">
    <option>
        skdfnsdjfn skdjfn sjkdn sdjkn sdjk nsdjkf nsdjkf nsdjkfn sjkf nsdjk nd
    </option>
    <option>
        skdfnsdjfn skdjfn sjkdn sdjkn sdjk nsdjkf nsdjkf nsdjkfn sjkf nsdjk ndskdfnsdjfn skdjfn sjkdn sdjkn sdjk nsdjkf nsdjkf nsdjkfn sjkf nsdjk nd
    </option>

You can't do word wrap with the standard option selects. You'll have to use a 3rd party tool or roll your own.
