By changing the size attribute of the select tag, you can show that many options at one time. Then it won't be a drop-down, but a scrolling selectable box.

As I have stated in multiple previous posts, please start searching.

The HTML Reference ( http://w3schools.com/tags/default.asp) will give you more information on tags. Look up the <select> and you will see the size attribute.

What kind of work won't let you use search engines? Are you using company time to do personal work?

<select size="10" ...>

# 7 Re: media player question
so i like that i can do that by just expanding the dropbox. but is there a way to do it with a link on the page? i searched a few sites and all i could get is a popup window that played in; the same player. same idea but i dont want the popup window.

Use the javascript call in the href attribute.

<script type="text/javascript">
function playMovie(src){
document.MediaPlayer.FileName = src;
}
</script>

<a href="javascript:playMovie('http://davidmorin.net/clips/david.mpg')">Test.mov</a>
