I have a form field that has a width of about 30. Often, the information entered is longer than 30 characters.

I use auto complete on my forms option.

Is it possible to extend the drop down of auto-complete-saved information beyond the 30 characters of the form-field itself? Sometimes the first 30 characters of more than one previously entered answer are the same.

The only way to know if I selected the right one is to just guess and then go to end and see if I picked the right one.

Thanks in advance.

There are a few extensions that allow you to "drag" a textarea larger than what the web page specifies, but AFAIK those extensions only work with multi line textareas not with single line form textareas.

I have used this extension in the past, but it has been problematic in Firefox 3.6 versions. IIRC it didn't ever work with single line textareas, like in forms.

Never tried this one.

I didn't care for this one when I tried it a few years ago,
