[Building Sakai] NeoPortal Adjustments?

[Bryan Holladay]

I'm not a UI person or play one on TV but how's this sound:

Have a hard coded max size for the dropdown, then have it do some jquery
magic auto scroll when the mouse gets close to the bottom of the list to see
the rest of the list.

Is that possible, sound good?  Maybe have a down arrow at the bottom
suggesting more tools.
