Bob,
The cms makes those changes. It also inserts comments as shown below which
aren't in my code and wraps it all in the select tags.
<DIV id="ctl26"><!-- Begin anotherContainer/Choose Page Subject-->
<select class='multiSelectStyle' name='anotherContainer/Choose Page
Subject' size=1 onfocus='datacapture.handleElementSelect( 26);'
onchange='parent.api.iw_dispatch_handleOnChange(26,this);'>
<option value="">
<option value="43"> 43
<option value="BCS Employee"> BCS Employee
<option value="BPFJ+"> BPFJ+
<option value="Community Program"> Community Program
<option value="Employment Confirmations"> Employment Confirmations
<option value="Employee Services"> Employee Services
<option value="Expense Reimbursement"> Expense Reimbursement
<option value="Flexibility"> Flexibility
<option value="Health Benefits"> Health Benefits

<!-- End anotherContainer/Choose Page Subject-->
<!-- End DIV for ctl26-->
</DIV>

Something's fishy. That code could not possibly have produced that output.
You add an option with:
$optionHTML .= qq[<option label="$subject" />];
But your output lines look like:
<option value="BCS Employee"> BCS Employee
When they should look like (according to the code above):
<option label="BCS Employee" />
Perhaps you're not running the code you *think* you're running...
