I can't use the number of <select> that i want in IE 5.5

Hi

I have a simple form which contains the following code repeated a certain number of times :

         <select size="1" name="D1">
         <option>1</option>
         <option>2</option>
         <option>3</option>
         <option>4</option>
         <option>5</option>        
          </select>

If i repeat this code 20 times, all work fine.

But if i repeat it 100 times, the select boxes don't display at all in the form
or the display is corrupted with an overlapping of the select boxes.

Is this a known bug  in IE 5.5 (a limited number of select permitted?) and anyway to bypass it???

All work fine if i use Mozilla 1.1

Thanks for the answer

I'd strongly recommend you break the page. Quite apart from browser considerations, 100 select boxes would be daunting to any user!

Be kind to your readers and offer a few (eg 10-20 at the most) at a time - unless there's a good reason to keep them together, of course.

It is time to clean this abandoned question up.

I am putting it on a clean up list for CS.
