The following code produces a listbox with 2 options:
I guess you cant, this maybe a limitation or not included in the IE browser. I have tried your jsfiddle with IE6-8 and all of it doesn't show the scrollbar and not sure with IE9. While in FF and chrome the scrollbar is shown. I also want to see how to do it in IE if possible.
If you really want to show the scrollbar, you can add a fake scrollbar. If you are familiar with some of the js library which use in RIA. Like in jquery/dojo some of the select is editable, because it is a combination of textbox + select or it can also be a textbox + div.
As an example, see it here a JavaScript that make select like editable.
It will work in IE7. But here you need to fixed the size
less than the number of option
and not use overflow-y:scroll
. In your example you have 2 option
but you set size=10
, which will not work.
Suppose your select has 10 option
, then fixed size=9
.
Here, in your code reference you used height:100px
with size:2
. I remove the height
css, because its not necessary and change the size:5
and it works fine.
Here is your modified code from jsfiddle:
<select size="5" style="width:100px;">
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
<option>4</option>
<option>5</option>
<option>6</option>
</select>
this will generate a larger select box than size:2
create.In case of small size
the select box will not display the scrollbar,you have to check with appropriate size
quantity.Without scrollbar it will work if click on the upper and lower icons of scrollbar.I show both example in your fiddle with size:2
and size
greater than 2
(e.g: 3,5).
Here is your desired result. I think this will help you:
CSS
.wrapper{
border: 1px dashed red;
height: 150px;
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: scroll;
width: 150px;
}
.wrapper .selection{
width:150px;
border:1px solid #ccc
}
HTML
<div class="wrapper">
<select size="15" class="selection">
<option>Item 1</option>
<option>Item 2</option>
<option>Item 3</option>
</select>
</div>
add:
overflow-y: scroll
in your css bud.
