DropDownlist items

[Mariame]

Hi Everyone,
i have a simple question: how can i make the dropdownlist appear only 3
items at one with scroll & doesent extend all over the page if there is many
items in it?

Thx in advance

ASP.Net is all about HTML. It generates HTML documents. An HTML form has
HTML elements in it, all of which are defined by a set of standards, and all
of which can only behave a certain pre-defined way. An HTML "select" object
(drop-down list box) can be as many rows high as you want it to be. Just set
the "size" attribute. However, the size of the select object when expand it
is not configurable. It will expand to the number of items in the list.

The only way to get the behavior you're describing is by using a client-side
executable, such as an ActiveX control or Java applet.

Can't this be done by going into the html page and adding overflow:
auto; to the style tag?
