Scrollbar issue in dropdown menu

[rkaic]

I have a site for a client I created in Dreamweaver (

http://www.artattribution.com).

I used the MenuBuilder extension to create horizontal dropdown menues. When I click on the Services menu, I see the entire menu at once. My client says that a scrollbar appears within the menu and he wants it removed. Could someone please explain how it appears in IE 6.0 for him, but not for me? It's not a resolution problem, as he has tried it in several resolutions with the same effect. Even if I resize the page to smaller heights, the dropdown still opens fully for me. Is there some type of script that will allow him to see the full menu displayed, instead of him having to scroll through it to see all of the options? Thanks in advance for your help.

"but not for me? "
-- resolution matters and also at which point of a page u look at it...if you scroll you page up or down..the oposite effect it will be on the form_element dropping either up or down...the lenght of the drop menu depends on the screen res. I would think that drop meny will Always have the scroll...I will look arround c if i find anything
all the best!

yes, i noticed that it will go up or down depending on where I am at in the page or the page size, but I cannot get it to scroll, yet his browser scrolls the menu no matter what (resolution, page location, etc).

"size=number of items in the list" is the key!

-----------------------snip-------
<select name=&quot;menu1&quot; size=&quot;30&quot; onChange=&quot;MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)&quot;>
<option selected>unnamed1</option>
<option>unnamed2</option>
<option>unnamed3</option>
</select>
----------snap----------------
this will not scroll if u have less than 30 options

lebisol, thanks for your assistance. If I use the code you listed, what happens is the entire menu is displayed on the page, based on what size I indicate. Luckily, the client has now decided to disregard the scrollbar issue.
