Setting the height of a SELECT in IE

Question

IE seems to ignore the height set in CSS when rendering a HTML SELECT. Are there any work around's for this or do we have to just accept IE will not look as good as other browsers?

Answer 1

There is no work-around for this aside from ditching the select element.

Answer 2

It is correct that there is no work-around for this aside from ditching the select element, but if you only need to show more items in your select list you can simply use the size attribute:

<select multiple="multiple" size="15">
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
<option>4</option>
</select>

Doing this you'll have additional empty lines if your collection of items lenght is smaller than size value.
