Yes, absolutely, but, just thought I'd include it as a bit of an FYI. Have quite a few people ask me in the past

True... but it's bad form. Really you should be explicit and specify the page you want it to refer to just in case...

Good call. I should of put that

you can leave the action tag blank. It will still validate just as long as it exists.

Ah cracking, nice one dude, problem solved. All validating fine in strict without the method="post". Thanks alot.

Sorry I didn't see this earlier, but you can change your DOCTYPE back to strict, and change your code to read:

<form action="whatever.html">
<fieldset>
 <select>
 <option value="link 1">text1</option>
 <option value="link 2">text2</option>
 <option value="link 3">text3</option>
 </select>
</fieldset>
</form>

It's as simple as that dude. You might as well just put the current page into the form action, some poor browser might get confused otherwise. Not sure if you need a method="post" in there too to validate?

The fieldset tag is a way of grouping a bunch of form elements, you can get rid of the border it creates using 'border' in CSS.

It's ok i've sorted it now. I just changed the Doc Type to xhtml Transitional and added a black 'action' attribute to the tag.
