right, but that's in a multi-select box, not in a drop-down select.

In HTML, this is triggered by the "multiple" attribute on the element.
If you
I agree. I think it would be bizarre and confusing to the user
to try and select many things from a dropdown. Nobody does this.
Maybe you want to use a popup (DHTML or separate window) if
you really need to save real estate. Otherwise use a
multiselect with multiple lines.

make multiple selections but can view at most one of them? If you don't have a
lot of items to display, perhaps a set of checkboxes (multibox) would be better?
If you end up with HTML like:
1
2
3
4
5
IE 6
From a GUI perspective, how would you select multiple things in a
drop-down? I can't actually recall ever seeing this type of widget
anywhere (irrespective of HTML).
Could you send an example?
