setting the number of items in a drop down list

[bangbangbogi]

Hi I need some help with the drop down list in Visual Web Developer 2005. My problem is as such: 1.) I have a total of 50 categories in my DB. 2.) When I use a drop down list , it displays all 50 entries at once. I want to limit the number of displayed entries to 10, so that the user will have to scroll down to view the rest. Plus the fact that the 50 entries practically covers up 1/4 of the screen. Please help. Thank You.

You could try writing your own control that shows a scrolling div, I guess.

That's what I thought too, but I dun really have a idea of how to do it.

Yeah, it's a bit of work. You'd need to have the div, toggle if it was shown by a click, then set your textbox text based on a selection.
