Select Box will not pull down in Netscape 7 / Mozilla

[rexrhino]

I have a select box that I am using as a menu to open other webpages. You click on it, and it is supposed to open other pages.

It works in IE, Opera, etc. Unfortunatly, in Netscape/Mozilla, the select box does not pull down. The select box kinda works... you can click on it, and then use the arrow keys to select what you want, and then press enter. However, the options that you can select with a mouse will not pop down.

There shouldn't be anything else in the page causing the problem, because I tested it in a page with nothing but the select box pulldown.

Mostly I am looking if people have dealt with this problem before. Sorry I can't show you more, as I am not allowed to post the code or javascript due to a strict non-disclosure-agreement. That might limit how people can help, but any knowledge/speculation on what is causing the problem would be greatly appreciated.

It seems that it will not work inside of a div once the div is repositioned.... it has the same problem as described at first

What do you mean by repositioned?

[elponderador]

Well, I am using a onload="" function to center a div tag that has nested divs leading up to a form that has a select box in it. It seems though that whether I position the root div or not the select box will not pull down...

[DrDoc]

Have you tried centering the div anyway, without using JavaScript? It is probably a lot easier to center the div using CSS.
Also, there might be something else on the page, prior to the form, that is "broken". Does your markup validate [validator.w3.org]?

[elponderador]

its definitely easier to use the center tag, but as I hinted... it does not seem to be related to the centering routing... but I will run it through the validator ... thanks for the recommendation
