Browsers don't allow me to state, using CSS, explicitly the height of the
selectbox. No matter the values I use in CSS the size always overrides it. No
matter if I use a min-height, height or max-height, they are always ignored and
I can't find a way, in the spec, to state that I want to use the values in CSS
and ignore the size value.
Tested with: IE9, FF 4.0.1, FF5, Opera 11, google chrome.
