>if you don't want user to select more than one, definitely you should just remove the multiple and the size attributes
if i do, it will turn to combo or drop down menu which i don't want.

Hi,

I don't think it is directly possible. May be you need to make use of javascript to make it happen.

Please just tell me what the difference between "drop down menu" and List menu using <html:select> tags?

fargo

sure you are not talking about menu..correct?

AFAIK, drop down box and list box and select list are all same. There is no difference.
