scrathcyboy,
LOL.  Felt like a little payback, huh?  :)  When I originally read this I thought the Asker wanted this in a form's select list (i.e. pulldown list).  It seems you read it different and as I reread it you may be correct that s/he is asking for this in a menu.  The use of "drop-down" made me think of form at first and that may have been a mistake.
However give me some credit.  If I am right that the Asker wants this in a form's pull down list (i.e. using the select tag) then my comment is right, has good info, and none of your links (at least those I looked at) contradict that.  I will leave the "irrelevant" comment because I disagree with your opinion on it and hope this post helps you see why.  Thanks for your post though.  You may be right in what the Asker wants and then would provide helpful answer to him.  Hopefully we will get a response to know for sure.

p.s.  I suppose it is too much to hope that you know feel we are now even and to let "bygones be bygones."  *L*

b0lsc0tt interpreted my question the way that i was looking for, though in retrospect I wasn't specific enough in my question.

I was referring to the HTML 'select' and it's options.

Unfortunately, he told me what I already knew, which is that there really isn't a viable solution aside from Firefox so far.

The alternative is to go the custom drop-menu route though this job doesn't warrant that.

Thanks!
Your welcome!  Thanks for the clearing it up and letting us know.  I'm glad I could help.  Thanks for the fun question, the points and the grade.
