Ways to create a floated span and select element that stretches across the width of a table cell

I am dealing with a table cell inside a table structured like this:

<td>
<span class="subtitle no-select" id="billing-status-span" style="float:left"> Status </span> 
<select id="bill-status" style="float:left">
    <option>One of many options with lots of text and therefore width</option>
</select>
</td>

I would appreciate some advice

Let's say the td is 100px wide (in reality, the td width varies as it's percentage based). The select width exceeds 100px due to the option width being wider. How can I address this issue? I'd like the select width to reduce... however, the width of the option is causing the select element to expand beyond 100px.

Answer №1

In my opinion, using a separate tag solely for the status is unnecessary. You can simply include it within an element.

<div>Status: <span id="order-status">Select from various options available</span></div>
