No. From the DTD[1]:

<!ELEMENT OPTION - O (#PCDATA) -- selectable choice -->

The text in parenthesises (#PCDATA) declares the contents of the OPTION
element. PCDATA is just text.[2]

[1] Strict and Transitional are the same at this point.
[2] You can include entity references (&quot; for example), but no
elements (like <A> and <EM>). I don't have ISO-8879:1986, but what I just
said is what I've taken from a post of someone that does :)

Why are you asking how to do something without JavaScript in a JavaScript
newsgroup?!

CSS:

ul {
height: 5em;
width: 90%;
border: solid 1px black;
overflow: auto;
}
HTML:

<ul>
<li><a href="foo">Foo</a></li>
<li><a href="foo">Foo</a></li>
<li><a href="foo">Foo</a></li>
<li><a href="foo">Foo</a></li>
<li><a href="foo">Foo</a></li>
<li><a href="foo">Foo</a></li>
<li><a href="foo">Foo</a></li>
<li><a href="foo">Foo</a></li>
<li><a href="foo">Foo</a></li>
<li><a href="foo">Foo</a></li>
</ul>
