Using Mozilla M11 on Windows 98. Unable to confirm with another version at this
time.

 When a <select>has a series of options without one being defined as "selected,"
the initial value on the drop-down is not submitted with the form.

On example URL, below the advertisement, the drop down box has "Forum 1..."
clicking on "Enter Forum" button brings you back to the greeting screen, where
as it should enter into the Forum. However, if you click on the drop down box
and select "Forum 1," it will work correctly.

Just tested this, it works fine, but because of Troy's frame changes the drop
down now displays in the wrong place. marking works for me and opening new bug
for misplaced drop down.
