Drop down box

[Guest]

I created a form with drop down boxes where the values differ from the choice
selection. The available choices have now grown to about 300 items. I am
looking for some best practices and suggestions on how to modify the form.
Is there a better method that should be used? The form results are submitted
via email.

300 items is a bit much, but not by any means too much. I would alphabetize
the list, as the way an HTML drop-down list box works, when it has the focus
and you type in a letter, it will scroll to the first item beginning with
that letter.
