hope i hit the write group:

in a web page when you use <select><option>xx</option></select> to make a
drop down box, more than 11 items causes a scroll bar...can this limit be
exceded via the registry or some other way?

thanks ahead!

Ask them in one of the *.dhtml.* groups.

No, it can't - or rather it shouldn't - be set in the registry at all.
Browsers and browser options are *intended* to be independent of the
host operating system (yes, I know that Microsoft don't like that game
much) and so such settings should be *within* the browser.

Mine, for example, currently sets scroll after 15 items in the list.

Not via the registry. But, in your code you can have a size for your
select.

Ex.
<select size=20>
<option>1</option>
.... options 2 - 19 ...
<option>20</option>
</select>

This will give you a long box of choices... but no scroller.

No, you did not. Please do not crosspost over main hierarchies and
please set Followup-To one appropriate newsgroup when crossposting.

Lahn is a control freak, and moreover totally misguided.

There is no legitimate objection in Usenet to cross-posting to a
moderate number of groups in different hierarchies, if all are
considered relevant and the individual charters do not disallow it.
There is no requirement in Usenet to follow up to a single group.

However, I believe that comp.lang.java.javascript is not a legitimately-
created Big-8 group, though some poorly-administered servers carry it.

So you answer in one group, and follow up to another. Stick to your
house-painting, and refrain from intestinal retrostalsis.
