[CODE=javascript]
var selectedOptions = new Array(); //array containing the ids of selected options
function doSelect(whom) {
var temp;
if (selectedOption s.length == 3) { //required length
temp = selectedOptions .shift();
document.getEle mentById(temp). selected = false;
}
temp = selectedOptions .push(whom.id);
}
[/CODE]
On the onclick of every option, call the function doSelect(this).
* And don't forget to set autocomplete=of f to the select input.

Check if this works or not. I didn't check it.

PS: Are you sure there's not any HTML attribute to restrict it?
