Drop down box doesn't display properly in Opera or Firefox

This site;
http://www.ddktele.com/

Using either Opera or Firefox the drop down box at the top of the page (that is suppose to be just a one line reteangle) shows as a tall large retangle instead. It shows WORSE in Firefox. Of couse it displays properly in Idiot Exploiter since that was where it was checked.

I brought this to the attention to the webmaster and his support tech who is very pro M$ (anything else is garbage according to him) and the usual answer is the % of Opera and Firefox users compared to IE users, it isn't worth the time to correct any mistakes validation sites report.

My question is why doesn't it show properly? Where is the problem and how can it be corrected?

HMm... If you have been using Opera or Firefox for a while, you would realize that stuff like this this comes up every once i while.(Links sometimes dont work, stuff is displayed alittle diferent, etc) I am not sure of the reason, but im sure theres a plugin you can download to fix it.

For that reason, I keep IE in my repertoire of browsers for its couple seconds of use.

I think the reason is until recently IE had the browser market by the lumpy bits and liked to twist; hence all the pages were desinged with IE in mind. Hopefully this'll change soon as Firefox gives IE some well needed competition.

Wow I sure wonder why it is so tall.

It doesn't show tall in IE because IE doesn't support these things called "standards".
