HTML <select> size confusion.

Hi there,

In my ModelForm I have a fields like this:

argument = models.CharField (max_length=50, blank=True)
media = models.CharField (max_length=50, choices =
getChoices ('media'))

For the 'media' field, the max_length results in a HTML select such
as:

<select size="50" name="media" id="id_media">
<option value="">---------</option>
<option value="monkey.png">monkey.png</option>
<option value="shu-eumura-lcd.mpg">shu-eumura-lcd.mpg</option>
</select>

The problem here is that the max_length attribute has been passed to
the <select> size, which results in a very large select control. If
max_length specifies the database storage size, why is it also used as
the size attribute to <select>? (Or rather: what am I doing wrong
here?)

I'm using django 1.2.1.

Cheers!

Rob
