size of select tag

[Shankar Narayana]

I want the select box to show 10 values when it is populated, I tried to work around by setting the style and size attributes but could solve it.

To better understand what i require is the example of outlook express contact list box, where you can move left and right the contacts. The same functionality is required in my application.

You can set the size using the "size" attribute in your select element as follows:

<form>
  <select name="cars" [B]size="3"[/B]>
    <option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
    <option value="saab">Saab</option>
    <option value="fiat">Fiat</option>
    <option value="audi">Audi</option>
  </select>
</form>
