I have to make page with lots of questions (about 30-40) an the user must choose between 6 answers. I chose to use ListBox but the answers are very long and I can't split them with <br> or \n.

<option value="1" > 1. Blah blah <br>
blah blah </option>

The alternative is to use RadioButtos, but the page gets too big and user has to scroll a lot.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I would use radio buttons, its common way of doing multiple choice answers.

If you are worried about the page being too long with radio buttons, the other option is to have multiple pages. Put one or two questions on a page. I note that this is in the HTML forum, but this could be managed easily if you were storing the results into a database, you would just need to update the test data from page to page.

Now that i think about it, and read the last reply, another alternative is to use css or document object model to only show one answer at a time...
using something like this.style.display='none' or.. display: none; etc... then the answers are still all on one page, but you only show one answer at a time..
