[Javascript] "Multiple" Select controls and popup objects.

[Hakan Magnusson]

Brunonedude,

Regarding the tearing through/graphical artifacts specific to (select) 
form elements; No. All tests I've done points to the theory that this is 
a Internet Explorer/Window component error.

Kind regards,
H
