We unfortunately find ourselves having to support our product in IE 6 because some of our largest users use it. One of them called today and told me that one of the dropdowns doesn't work when he clicks on it - it simply selects the first item.

I checked the markup and the entire contents of the select control are being sent:

<select onchange="SDateFilter_S('#ctlDateRange')" size="1" name="ctlDateRange" style="width:100px;">
            <option selected="selected" value="0">
                All Dates
            </option><option value="1">
                Within
            </option><option value="2">
                Before
            </option><option value="3">
                After
            </option><option value="4">
                Between
            </option><option value="5">
                Last
            </option><option value="6">
                Since
            </option>
        </select>

This is done in ASP .NET but I am fairly certain the issue isn't with ASP .NET as when I try it in my copy of IE 6, it works correctly.

Do you have any idea what would cause a dropdown list in some copies of IE 6 to effectively not work?
