[thelist] problem handling the menu + select box bug in IE

[Peter Brunone (EasyListBox.com)]

		Korean they may be; can you tell what it says?

Oh, and yes, this has been reported as fixed in IE7 (but only after beta 1).  It'll be interesting to see the side effects of having a non-windowed select element.

Now is the time for all good product vendors (like me) to prepare for all the ways IE is going to break the current implementation (like switching the XMLHTTP object)!

I believe that rendering issue with the select boxes is, or will be,
fixed in IE7. I seem to recall reading that on the IE7blog.

And I think those characters are Korean...! ;-)
