Sure. Adam Daniel has written a getElement() method to achieve what you want. It works like that : $form->addElement('select', 'sel', 'Test Select:', array('A'=>'A', 'B'=>'B')); $select = &$form->getElement('sel'); $select->setSize(5); $select->setMultiple(true); As we are thinking about other great improvements in HTML_QuickForm, it might still take some time before we commit that and the rest. > The other thing I noticed was in HTML_QuickForm/Elements/select.php.
