select multiple

[Jeff Thies]

I'd like to present a list of options, with all options being visible.

I could use readio buttons, but I'm thinking about selects.

If I do this:

<select name="list_name" size="6" multiple>
<option selected value="eenie">eenie</option>
<option value="meenie">meenie</option>
<option value="minie">minie</option>
<option value="moe">moe</option>
</select>

I get an already open rolldown.

Downside is that you can select multiples (of course) and unused
scrollbars appear in some browsers.

Is there a way to get the look of the multiple with onle being able to
select single values (and perhaps, no scrollbars)?

Did you think of trying it without the "multiple" attribute in the
opening <select>?

Of course not! If I had I wouldn't have asked such a dumb question!

HEY! There are no stupid questions, only stupid... well, actually
that was pretty stupid..... ;-)

Well, I suppose someone has to state the obvious, which is easy to spot
in someone else's code, of course. When you're looking at your own,
"wood" and "trees" spring to mind.

that just sounds dirty....

Thanks are still in order!

I was using CGI.pm to generate a scrolling_list and I hadn't really looked
at it when I pasted the output over.

I'm toying with this bit of javascript to simulate the selection in radio
groups:

Does no harm if no javascript.
