Hey Bob

What do you see in IE6 instead of what you expect?

In my experience, the place that IE6 is most challenging is with  
CSS.  Try removing the id="select2" to see what the raw <select>  
comes out like.  If that looks OK, then look at the style of  
select2.  If that doesn't do anything, see if there's an element  
containing the select (like a div) that has a style.

HTH,
-Joel
