Changing font in options

[Michael A. Weber]

Hello Weblibers:

I need some help with a pull down menu on our homepage.

<http://www.alvernia.edu/>

I am using some javascript and the tags: form name, select name, and option
values.  The code is listed below.


My problem is with alignment.  My pulldown menu lines up exactly with my
navbar border on netscape, but not on Explorer.  I have tried using font
size commands to alter the size of the text, but they don't seem to work
inside of the option tag.  

Is there any way of changing the size of the text shown in the option value
tags?  This would put the pulldown menu inside of the navbar.

Any other suggestions on how to achieve alignment in this situation?

Thank you!

Mike Weber
