HTML <select> & JS

HI I was wondering if anyone can answer my question :) it's more HTML related though, but I'll dare to post it here and apologize in advance if I am going against the rules. The issues is, if I am using the following code: <select name="rows_per_page"> <option selected>25 <option>10 <option>50 <option>100 </select> The problem I am having is that when I get rid of '</select>' it gives the formatting like I needed, and with '</select>' it increases the CELL where I am using this SELECT, like it is like having "<br>", i.e. it's maximizing the height. When I get rid of </select> the whole <SELECT> thing doesn't show in NETSCAPE but does show and work fine in IE 5-6.0 Also can someone help with JS for this option... like as soon as you selected something the page will go loading without having to click SUBMIT. Thanks a lot. Vlad
