Are you looking for a list or do you still want a dropdown with the options shown as default. For a list style you could use the size attribute with the select element.

HTML

<select size="3">
  <option>Not Started</option>
  <option selected>In Progess</option>
  <option>Completed</option>
</select>

CSS

select{
    overflow:auto;
}
