Limit the number of selections made from a Multiple select box.

[prometheus6001]

I need someone to put me through something. I have a multiple select list box with more than 5 entries but I want it in such a way that the user may only select 3 out of the list.

Please who can help me with that?

you cannot achieve that with html/ccs only ... you could use JavaScript for that ... in case you want to ;)

kind regards

You should validate the user input with a serverside script (php, asp, jsp etc.). A javascript-only validation is not secure, user can simply ignore it by turning off javascript. So the correct way is to implement a validation on the serverside and add javascript on top of it.
