Setting the number of elements in selectboxes...

Hi,

I have made a selectbox (<Select....><o ption...>...) with size=1(It has to
be size=1). It contains about 40 elements. It is placed on the top of my
webpage abd I would like to see as many elements as possible when it is
opened. As default there is only 12 elements that shows and then I have to
scroll down to the other 28 elements.

Is there a way to set the selectbox to show more than 12 elements when its
opened?
Regards,

Kjell Breimo.

No, the number of items shown on a drop-down (<select>) menu is entirely up to
the browser.

During testing <div style="overflow:auto;"> in CSS I noticed the mousewheel would work in Mozilla only after I made a <a href="#">some text</a> link and clicked on that, within the div. It appears as if Mozilla needs to have the focus set on that div in order for the mousewheel to work. That's all that link does. The mousewheel works perfectly in IE without the link. It scrolls the div even if there is a scrollbar on the page. Is...

Hi, I have an application whose textareas rows automatically resize onFocus to the number of lines in the textArea. The cols are set to 100% (in a CSS file) in order to always take the full browser width I use textarea.value.split('\n') to find the number of lines. Some lines are longer than the 100% width and they wrap. However, wrappeed lines do not contain '\n'. Thus my textarea has less lines than what is needed to display it...

Please forgive the simplicy of this question. I have the following code which attempts to determine the color of some text and set other text to match that color. It works fine in Firefox, but does nothing in IE. I'd be greatful for any assistance. Also, if I will have problems the code on Opera or Safari, I'd appreciate any pointers--I don't have a Mac to test Safari. THanks very much, Michael

Hello all, I have a question which might be simple or need some work around. I want to do something like this. My class/instance has a dict as a property. I want the instance to catch the change in the dict (change in some values, addition/deletion of key/value etc) to be recognized by the class instance. How can I do this? Any suggestions are very well appreciated.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
