Multiline dropdown box not submitting with form

I have been looking at some code I have been given to work on and there are several multi-line dropdown boxes like this:

<select name="strListPA" size="3">
     <%=strPA%>
</select>

where strPA is a variable that contains the html for building all the options (this works fine).

My problem is that the dropdown values are not being passed through on the form. I tried removing the

size="3"

from the dropdown and then the form value was passed through!

Does anyone know why the form values would not be passed through on a multi-line dropdown? I need to find a way round this because this display format has already been decided upon.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Could you give us the HTML output of the select box code and the form code too. Because you say the problem is that the values aren't being passed and you think the problem is the "size" attribute. The "size" attribute only tells the form how many of the options to show at one time. Is this a MULTIPLE select box? Meaning users can select more than one option?

It's not a multiple select box - they can only choose one option, but the code I am working with requires for layour purposes that the data is shown in a multi-line select rather than just the text displayed on the page on separate lines. I don't know why it's like this, but that's how they want it.

I'm afraid I can't post any code
