Thanks alot for this, it works great! However it does not work for he
date widget. I undestand if the the date widget was not designed to take
advantage of this.... I just wanted a confirm?

I have 4 date widgets on the page, and as I said space is a concern
since I am trying to emulate their current billing process. It wouldn't
be so bad if maybe I could at least get the month names to abbreviate.

Anyways, if the date widget was not designed for this, I may just use it
to output the code, then copy/paste it as a hard coded widget w/styles.

Anybody know if the date widget can duplicate the extra="foo" for all
three selects??
