Well, remove all whitespace between the tags in the HTML version, and
most likely you get the same behavior.

Node.firstChild does not necessarily yield the the first child *element*
of the node.  If you want to get that, use ParentNode.firstElementChild
(you may want to write a wrapper/fallback in case the method is not
supported).

Alternatively, you can retrieve all select elements with
Element.getElementsByTagName("select").
