What I'm looking for is a way to make a forms drop down menu show more than the 11 options all drop down menu's show. What I mean by this is that if you have say 20 options in a drop down menu, you'll have to scroll down to see the other 9.
So what I want done is to say show 15 options when you click on the drop down menu, and then after 15 options it sets to scroll.
get it? hope so :D
Thanks to anyone who can help in this.

That's a browser-specific setting, you can't change that.
In IE, it displays 11 items when the options are "pulled-down"
In NS/Mozilla, it's 20.
However, you can set the size property to 15 to be able to display 15 items at once.
<select size="15">
That will make the height of the select element bigger. Don't know if this is OK with you.

No that won't work, using it on a very thin frame:

Thanks for telling me it can't be done, I knew it was a browser specific thing but still had to ask if there was a way ;)

Why not craft a fancy menu - one main link that when moused over shows all the other links.

Well I tried keeping the "layout" mimicing the browser-based game the above site was setup for. And a drop down menu was keeping with that ;).
showing only 11 or whatever is fine really. Was just curious to see if it could be changed, as I also use drop down menu's in quite a few other places in frames such as that.
