The <a>s, as they're sitting on top of the original markup and only telling capable user agents what behaviour, or type of interaction, to offer the end user. Fundamentally though, it's still a select (just like fundamentally, you're still yourself despite the mask). > If the markup says I am <select>, and the implementation says > I am list of <a>s, then what am I?? > To markup consumers I am a <select> > and to implementation consumers I am <a>s. The implementation doesn't say it's a list of <a>s, though. It says it's a <select> which it will present to the user as a list of <a>s...fundamentally, still a select. Possibly an very subtle difference, but a difference nonetheless. -- Patrick H.
