Setting the height of a SELECT in IE

Question

IE seems to ignore the height set in CSS when rendering a HTML SELECT. Are there any work around\'s for this or do we have to just accept IE will not look as good as other b

Not sure but I think this was a question not about the height of a 'multiple' type of select element but a drop-down type of select element. I have come across times when the drop-down looks squashed and does not show clearly the selected value. Undoubtedly it has to do with CSS style info in use on the page. The only way to stop it is either change the CSS (which would likely affect the whole page or parts of it in ways you don't want affected) or use style info in the select element itself to override the CSS that's clobbering it. Example:
