Work around / fix for making a list of drop down boxes

Question

Dear experts,
When lists are created, its cells act like top-level views. Because of this, everything attempting to go past the border of the list item is clipped. This is a problem when making a list of drop down boxes. Is there a known work around for this or maybe a fix?
Regards,
Olivier

thank you saish, moving 'the artists are' helps visually, as for the fix, i really needed to store it in an arrayList, resultSets aren't very happy about being manipulated!
here's the fix:
writer.println("<select name=\"userList\" size=\"1\">");
ArrayList a = new ArrayList();
ResultSet r=null;
// this is just my way of accessing the database and the correct method with the artist names in it
r = factory.getCustomersDAO().get_Artist_Names_Only();
while(r.next())
// retrieve artist names as String variables
String artist = r.getString("artist_name");
// add to ArrayList
a.add(artist);
for(int i=0; i<a.size(); i++)
Object art = a.get(i);
art = (String)art;
writer.println("<OPTION VALUE=\"" +art+ "\">" art "</OPTION>");
writer.println("<tr><td colspan = \"2\"><h2>Enter Artist Name to be booked: </h2></tr></td>");
writer.println("</SELECT></TD></TR>");
thanks again, i've got another problem now that i'm just about to post about, how to register when one particular cell in a html table has had its link clicked!
