CSS formatting questions

I'm using a scheme (CSS recipe of sorts) found on the web for allowing styling of the
options in a look-alike dropdown select list  using CSS and <ul>

i have three questions i need help with (in order of priority)
1.  How to eliminate the "linebreaks" that appear AFTER an option is chosen that display in the "selected" choice

2a.  I tried CSS  span:nth-child(1){left: 0px;}   (etc.)    to column-ize the dropdown options for selection,
but when i did, altho the "tab stops" yielded the desired multiple columns,  each word WITHIN each tabstop is positioned with a wordwrap to place the words under each other in a narrow column manner.  How to have the words within each tabstop appear normally?
2b. After selection, the position/origin is outside of the enveloping container. How to resolve.

3.  Javascript:  how to set the (form input field)  .value  of the chosen option, once clicked on?

URL for Questions #1 & 3:      CHOOSE SIZE   is the dropdown in question

BTW even if you find a solution it may not work reliably because the markup has almost 100 validation errors and the page is not stable anyway.
