Problem with html forms (select and option tags)

[sford999]

Hi I`m having a few problems with the select and option tags

Basically if I have a normal drop down menu, the menu gets messed up like in the screenshot below

but if I add the size="x" to the select tag the menu is in the correct place.

The code is below if anyone can help?

Look at the screenshot [url=http://www.carpfishinguk.net/messed_up.jpg]HERE[/url] notice the menu is below the form, but if I add "size='x' to it it looks correct with the menu to the right, [url=http://www.carpfishinguk.net/should_be.jpg]screenshot[/url]

So basically this breaks the page
[code]<select name="category" class="textfield">
            <option value="1">A</option>
            ....snip....
            <option value="26">Z</option>
          </select>[/code]

And this fixes it
[code]<select name="category" class="textfield" size="4">
            <option value="1">A</option>
            ....snip....
            <option value="26">Z</option>
          </select>[/code]

but I want the drop down list, not the multiple choice menu on the page

Change the "size=4" to "size=1".
