Hi All

I have a dropdown list which contains more than 50 items, when i am selecting the dropdowlist item its displaying all the items and occupying the entire page. what i want is display 10 items at a time and display next items on scrolling.

I have no idea whether it is simple or not. Please help in this issue whether ther is any alternative or do i need to set any property or style for dropdown list .

Thanks in advance if anybody can help in this issue.

Why not use aspnet ListBox instead? ListBox provides an auto scrollbars when the item is larger than the size of the List

It is not possible is .NET or any other platform since the dropdown rendering is controlled by the browser.

However, you can use ListBox or some workaround like this
