Limit displayed length of dynamic dropdown list

Is there a way to control how many lines display in a dynamically built dropdown list. For example, a list of states and the dropdown should include all states but only display 1 or 2 lines and allow scrolling thru the list? Thanks...

Guy Hengel [angelIII / a3]

use the SIZE property of the SELECT list

<SELECT .... SIZE=2 ...>... </SELECT>

rquzik, you can email the EE admin and ask them to adjust the points. Explain and they'll fix it for you. AngelIII does deserve some of the points.
