I had spacing issues with two of my three pulldown menus. It would appear as if there was an extra line between the text and the pulldown. I solved it by removing the line break after it <br />
from the two that were giving me problems.
Family Size <br />
[select* family-size include_blank "1" "2" "3" "4" "5" "6+" ]
Family Size
[select* family-size include_blank "1" "2" "3" "4" "5" "6+" ]
The third pulldown seems to work as is. Not sure why, but it might help someone else.
