<style type="text/css">
.scrollable{
overflow: scroll;
width: 250px; /* adjust this width depending to amount of text to display */
/* adjust height depending on number of options to display */
/* border: 1px silver solid; */
}
.scrollable select{
border: none;
}
</style>






<div class="scrollable">
<select name="SubstanceList" class="listBox-auto" id="SubstanceList" multiple width="250" style="width: 250px" size="5" onChange="javascript:validateSelection();">
<option> </option>

</select></div>

What Bear means is, please use code tags when you post some code, since it's very difficult to read code in the absence of the code tags. Read this for more information.

Ok ... i have pasted code considering you will understand it as its looks simple code

Unformatted code is very hard to read -- even for "simple code".

Most people, myself included, will not bother to read code unless you put it in code tags. ShowSomeEffort!

Well you did not add scrollbars to the select

You probably want auto instead of scroll.

Eric

[ravindra patil]

ok i will try but dont think replacing scroll by auto will do as initially it was set to auto i will confirm once again and let you know

[Eric Pascarello]

Do you even know what auto is?

I love when people say it will not work before they try it.
