How do I add options to a drop down box?

I am creating a website with a signup sheet that features a dropdown box with
all of the countries of the world in it. However, when I get to the fifteenth
country, FrontPage won't let me enter any more choices. How can I fix this?

Never run into this with FrontPage before. If you're running into problems by
adding choices in the dialog box you get when you right click for the form
element properties, just edit the code. For example:
<select size="1" name="D1">
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
<option>4</option>
<option>5</option>
<option>6</option>
<option>7</option>
<option>8</option>
<option>9</option>
<option>10</option>
<option>11</option>
<option>12</option>
<option>13</option>
<option>14</option>
<option>15</option>
<option>16</option>
<option>17</option>
<option>18</option>
<option>19</option>
<option>20</option>
</select>

Hope this helps.

Switch to HTML or Code view, and continue adding <option>s there.
The GUI dialogue is limited in the number of options that can be entered.

Just out of curiosity, what version of FrontPage limits the number of
options? I went straight from 2000 to 2003, and never noticed this in either
one.

Thanks

I have hit limits around 20 options in FP2000 using the Form Field
properties dialogue, but in HTML/Code view all versions have no limits.
