What web browser are you using?  

If I use mozilla 0.9.7, it works okay, with mozilla dropping down a listbox 
which is wider than the 'Choose one' text seems to be (the 'Choose one' text 
is cut off at the right end, near the down arrow).

konqueror (kde 2.2) does not display it correctly, I can't read the whole 
text.

Netscape does display it so I can read the whole thing.

Lynx displays it fine, but of course the javascript does not work.

Links would not authenticate to my SSL site, so I don't know how it works.

w3m gave an unknown uri error on the https redirect, don't know how it works.

I think that the best thing to do to "fix" the problem (which is a web browser 
problem) is to change the "Choose one" text to read "Please make a selection 
abcd abcd" or whatever, to make it as long as the longest text in the 
dropdown.  This _could_ be done programmatically, instead of hardcoding it 
in.
