IE7 drop down problem

Hi

I have a drop down list box which has some 15 items in it, by which we can select only one item at a time. In IE6 the items in the drop down are appearing fine with a scroll bar coming in after click on items. But in IE7 all the items in the drop down list are appearing with out a scroll bar, due to which drop down is appearing in a bigger size.

Some where in google it was written that, by default in IE7 drop down is having fixed size of 30. If that is the case, is there any way that we can change it and reduce the size, so that dispalyed items will appear in scroll bar or is there any way that we can use css and change it.

Any help on this will be useful

Thanks
Vijay

Vijay,
Welcome to JavaRanch!

Have you tried using the "width" attribute in CSS?

You can not change the number of elements that appear in the options in the select element w/ scrollbar.

Of course not. I thought the original posted meant a horizontal scrollbar. Upon re-reading the post, your interpretation makes much more sense!

The only way is to make it a multi-select, then you define the number of options that display at one time, but they're always there, not just displayed on clicking the arrow and the user can select more than one.

That being said, I'd bet that someone, somewhere, has gotten all creative on this and came up with a jquery workaround.
