Evertjan:

    Thanks for all the additional hints.

    When I created this simple example, I took the original JS code and only 
tiny parts of the original markup for the example.

    So, the original registration screen is much more complex than what I 
provided.

    ... and yes, I do a *lot* of serverside work on the input sent back to 
my Apache Server CGI app.

    My original code shows 'Pick a Month' as option 1 and is shown as 
disabled for my users benefit. I also color my fields as I advance thru them 
and show error messages as entries are made, etc. Anyway,  without *any* 
size clauses, the display is not disturbed. My original problem is that the 
user needs an extra 'click' to display the drop-down list. I guess I should 
leave it at that.

    When I programmatically advance thru the whole set of fields (via <tab> 
, <cr> or 'clicking'), I have many other things happening too.

    I guess that's the problem with providing a 'simple' example and not 
taking too much time with it -- much is misconstrued :((

    Thanks again for detailed hints and corrective suggestions !
