Hi Chris, the SELECT element _must_ contain at least one OPTION element. For details see http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#edef-SELECT I suggest you put an OPTION element either empty or with a default value in your markup. Please do also consider a fallback mechanism for those without active scripting. Cheers, jens -- Jens Brueckmann http://www.yalf.de http://www.j-a-b.net
