tbh, I don't agree Patchou. This isn't about new standards, this is about implementing the existing standards in the right way. Like Choli said, <select> is a form element, thus you need to include it into a form. You don't make a subroutine in a program without a startheader and a endheader...
Anyways, it works fine now...
EDIT: blah... I was too slow....
Anyways, the error in MSIE of whish I spoke in my last email (or the mail before that, dunno anymore) is indeed there. It concearns the small background banners shown in the boxes on the right side. I'll try to find out more and test some stuff and then I'll try to explain later...
