Javascript: replace <select> with <div>?

Question

Is there a way to replace the <select> with a <div> with a hidden <div> that crashes when clicked? Not a complete solution, but maybe some js or jQuery library / plugin for this. I can spend the day developing it, but maybe someone has already done this?

The reason I need the joomla admin interface is that the drop-down list contains very long values ​​and I had to set a fixed width to those <select> s

Thanks for the help!

I tried quite a few selected JQuery plugins to replace, and decided to select-box - be sure to check out the demo page . For this purpose there are a large number of plugins, so if this does not meet your needs, I am sure that you will find one that works with a little Google-fu.
