Perhaps the closing </option> tag isn't understood properly by those old

Just a guess...

Speaking of Macs, select boxes seem to produce an amount
of white space above the selected item equal to the number
of items below the selected line - at least this seems to
be the case in NS3,4 and IE4 for Mac. It occurs both with
select and CFselect forms.
Is this a Mac 'feature', or is it the browser or is it my
code??
