I'm confused about a couple of things. Why are you doing a filter on the
EmployeeList array variable to create Employee1 and then you use both
Employee1 and EmployeeList to create your drop-down? Also if EmployeeList is
indeed an array, when you create Employee1 you are creating another array.
This would explain why you are seeing a table outside of the dropdown.

Also I don't quite understand what you are referring to when you say you are
using a formatted table. Do you mean that instead of having the array
variable created by a search result that you are using a hard-coded HTML
table? If this is the case, check to make sure that the assignment to the
variable is producing an array. You can check this by turning debug on and
looking at the list of local variables. You should see
variablename=[Array:'number of rows' x 'number of columns'].

For example I've got an array variable that is called la_workcodes which is
19 rows by 3 columns and it shows up in the debug as
'la_workcodes=[Array:19x3]'. If you see anything else, chances are that the
initial assignment to the EmployeeList variable did not produce an array.

Perhaps if you stepped back and tried to explain what you are hoping to
accomplish, we could provide some suggestions.

Hope this helps,

Steve Smith
