Audra, Thanks for the response but I'm afraid your suggestion did not work. It seems that IE6 puts a lot of space underneath a <select> menu, whether you want it or not. I stripped out all of the enclosing code, and in fact simply put the form element inside a table cell, and it still pushes the bottom of the container down.
