Ack! <select> not showing up in search drop down box!

[kaosmoon]

I've been attempting this forever and it is driving me nuts. I am trying to implement a simple <select> drop down box on top of the search drop down box, right under the current <input> box. I added a section to my forum that I want to be able to search so I added a select box inside of the search DHTML drop down box thing. However, it only appears in Mozilla. In IE, there is just an empty space there. Any ideas as to what would cause that? I am going nuts.

Nothing comes to mind. But if you post a link to your forum or post the code you are using then we might be able to find the problem.

This is placed right after the <tr> for the regular search.

<tr>
 			<td class="thead">Search ICIX Nation</td>
 		</tr>
 		<tr>
 			<td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">
 			<if condition="$bbuserinfo[userid]==107">
 			<form action="######.php?do=search" method="post" name="icix_search" onsubmit="filledin()">

I know HTML fairly decently, so I was thinking it had something to do with just plain having a select box on the DHTML menu with IE. Maybe it parses it differently?

BTW - I also tried a simple <select><option>test</option></select>. Still no go.

Maybe. I have no idea why it isn't showing.

Maybe the people on www.vbulletintemplates.com or www.vbulletin.org will know.

Anyone else have any ideas?
