Rick, Your Employee1 variable is an array, so when you display it as <@var Employee1>, Witango will put wrap a table around it. Do a view source on the resulting html. Do you see a <table> inside your <select>? That will mess us the <select>.
Are you putting Employee1 in the select box twice because you want it at the top, or selected by default? Maybe you could use the <@choicelist> tag instead.
