      ASP.Net is all about HTML. It generates HTML documents. An HTML form has
      HTML elements in it, all of which are defined by a set of standards, and all
      of which can only behave a certain pre-defined way. An HTML "select" object
      (drop-down list box) can be as many rows high as you want it to be. Just set
      the "size" attribute. However, the size of the select object when expand it
      is not configurable. It will expand to the number of items in the list.

      The only way to get the behavior you're describing is by using a client-side
      executable, such as an ActiveX control or Java applet.

          Can't this be done by going into the html page and adding overflow:
          auto; to the style tag?
