function perfectly in Chrome, and Fire Fox..

Please take a look and give me advise..

I can see the issue is apparently that you can't actually make a choice in
the drop down box, is that correct, when using IE?

With IE (I tested with version 8.0) the drop down doesn't stay open when you
take your finger off the mouse button; the list closes and won't allow you
to make or keep the choice you select - you can mouse-over the choices
(while holding the left mouse button down), but it won't allow you to select
one.

The other browsers do this OK.

Most of the <Select> tags are like this:

<select name="Oil">
<option></option>
<option value="on">Si</option>
</select>

I'm not sure if the "blank" <select></select> is causing this in IE or not?
Just a suggestion but maybe the yes/no questions should have Yes and No
answers listed, rather than, just "Yes" and "blank" for "No" or
non-response.

It is strange behaviour......but other than the above, I can't explain it
or suggest a solution unfortunately. I don't have any other IE version
running.

Sorry I mean "the blank "<option></option>" tag not blank <select></select>
 
Thanks Andrew for your answer.

You are correct in ALL other browsers it is fine.. And it was fine in IE al
versions..

Have several forms and all react the same way..

What is weird is that I have not made any changes to anything.

If you think of anything let me know please.. It is a real head scratcher

Caused by one of the many scripts that you have affecting the dropdown/select fields
Suggest you contact whoever provided you all those scripts that you have and ask if they are IE compatible
- or delete them all and start adding them back, one at a time, until you find the one that is not compatible
(the either don't use it of find a compatible alternative)
