Hi everyone,
How can I show 10 option out of 100 in the drop down list and the rest to be available using scrollbar?
thanks a lot.
Actually, you don't really need the "multiple" attribute. It works fine by just setting the size attribute. But I gave you a bump anyway.

@Robusto interesting, but I think from a readability point of view I'd be inclined to include it to reduce confusion.

I think <select multiple="multiple" size="10"> produces a list, not a drop down...

You could try this little trick...
<select max="2" onmouseover="this.size = 10" onmouseout="this.size = 1">
it effectively makes your select drop down into a list on mouse over and puts it back on mouse out.
it's cheating and can mess up your html positioning, but it works.
Edit: I'm pretty sure you can't change the size of the menu displayed when you click a select, this is determined by the browser and not controllable by the page.
