Hi

I have a form with a select option box of countries, it seems that if =
you make a selection the box keeps focus, so if the user tries to scroll =
then the options get changed.
i.e
<select name=3D"test">
                <option value=3D"1" SELECTED>aaaaaa</option>
                <option value=3D"2">bbbbb</option>
                <option value=3D"3">cccccc</option>
                <option value=3D"4">ddddd</option>
</select>

the option box is a list of countries which shipping prices are worked =
out from, he user clicks say USA then scrolls and changes it to Algeria =
without noticing and so is billed incorrectly.

has anyone else run up against this, is there anything i can do about =
it.

Best Wishes
