Why should any browser display that crap? This is not HTML, this only looks like it, but it isn't. The IE is not a browser, you cannot assume you have done anything correctly if the IE displays it. http://w3.org/TR/html4 will enlighten you what HTML really is and you'll see that you've made a lot of mistakes in that tiny piece of code (i count at least 6 errors and at least 6 deprecated constructs). Consider using CGI.pm for HTML-output on the fly or use templates.

update: The list of mistakes/deprecated things for someone:

  1. unquoted attribute values, at least non-numeriocs values should be quoted.
  2. "---Select--->" must be "---Select-->"
  3. input tag syntax error (closing > is missing)
  4. input element at impossible position
  5. 2 option elements with broken syntax
  6. 2 option elements at impossible position
  7. again unencoded >
  8. use of FONT element deprecated
  9. use of unquoted attributes deprecated
  10. B element deprecated
  11. unclosed P elements, well, HTML4, but not XHTML ;)
