In a drop-down, how do I expand a multiselect input to display more characters?

I have a problem where on a multiselect drop-down, I am not able to see the entire value of the choices. I have read some information about changing CSS files and converting to HTML but guess I am not able to grasp what needs to be done. Does anyone know of a step by step instruction on how to increase the number of characters displayed in a multiselect input?

Give this a try (the id field on the multiselect should match the #<heading> in html)

<form onUnloadCancelJobs="true" >
  <label>...
  <description>...  
  <fieldset autoRun="true" submitButton="true">
    <html>
      <style type="text/css">
#input_unit {
  width: 440px;
}
      </style>
    </html>

    <input type="multiselect" token="yourtoken" searchWhenChanged="false" id="input_unit">
      <choice value="*">All</choice>
      ......
      ......
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  ...
