Dropdown? Oh wait. JavaScript must be available. There goes ~10% of
your visitors, plus the Googlebot, who won't be able to navigate your
site. Are you sure you want that? It's like turning off your web server
for a month every year.

In Internet explorer, the drop down falls behind the text whereas in
Firefox amd Opera it covers the text.

You should add a proper DOCTYPE to take IE out of Quirks Mode first,
then see what it does.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";>

Remove those HTML comment markers from your styles.
No need for that Netscape 4 DreamWeaver script to reload the page. NN 4
is used so seldom these days as to warrant not even considering it.

There are other errors.
