Sample of problem and gross workaround
439 bytes, text/html
Details 
In all JS 1.5 browsers including NS 6.2, setting the select.options.length value
of a select box to zero clears all options and clears the select box.  Mozilla
1.0 deletes the options, but not clear the value currently displayed.

    
    

    
  
Confirming with Mozilla trunk binary 20020701xx on WinNT.
