I have a <select> with a lot of <option>'s. Is there any way to limit the height of the displayed <select> when opened?

    @bemace, it may be a dupe, but I didn't find that initially myself (and I always check the way I typed the question). I personally think dupe questions that rephrase in a way that could help someone else find it (like me!) and yet lead to the original are okay. – Josh Smith Dec 16 '10 at 03:50

the size limit is controlled by the browser and not something you can alter.

    Yeah, this was just pointed out to me in #jquery. Thanks for the quick answer, though! Will accept this in 6 minutes. – Josh Smith Dec 16 '10 at 03:48
