How a SELECT control is displayed is browser dependend. Some browsers use
the corresponding control as it is supplied by the operating system. The
possibilities to modify such controls are very limited and vary from
browser to browser.
If the options can be structured into smaller groups, you could use OPTGROUP
to markup the option list. Some browsers then create dropdown menus with
submenus for each OPTGROUP (but Konquerer for example still creates a
single long list...).
Perhaps a completely different approach may the better, but you have to
supply a URL to your page, before more could be said.
