Serious WTF? on LJ design

[ravan]

In this thread in lj_releases, burr86 alleges:
Problem with a dropdown menu is that it doesn't let you choose multiple groups.

My jaw hit the deck. Now, I've had problems doing just that on LJ, but I always figured it was intended as a feature, not a designer incompetance.

You see, picking multiples in a drop-down list is enabled by this: <select name="test" multiple="yes"> - it's an option in the base html for the drop-down box. No javashitscript required.

Don't believe me? See this tutorial, which is the FIRST result in a Google search on [drop down form].

Between the two of us we probably have twice as much experience than their entire design department put together.

The response to your comment confuses me. "That makes a select box, not a dropdown"???

What about the size attribute? eek
