It is not possible to obtain the correct scrollTop value of a select list in Explorer, regardless of strict/quirks mode. to reproduce, enter the test page, scroll the list a bit, then hit the button. The alert will display 0 value in IE, and correct value in Mozilla based browsers.

Well, in IE7b2 it's working all fine.

In IE7 the select-element is a native control instead of a windowed control rendered by the windows shell. Obviously the latter had some shortcomings such as being always on top of other HTML elements and this issue with scrollTop not being available.
Workaround would probably be nesting the select-element in another element and obtain that element's scrollTop.
