Hi all,
I want to thank you for your help.
It turns out that the problem was coming from my framework (uPortal).
Something was converting all my code to HTML format, which include
removing the closing OPTION tag. A bit strange, I agree. Fortunately,
there was an option to generate XHTML instead. That fixed my problem.
When I realized that "generated source code" was not what my
application was sending to FF, I started to dig a little bit more
because my XSL was correctly printing the closing tab. I first had a
show/hide quoted text
look at <xsl:output method="xml"/>, but without success. Then I found
the config about HTML vs XHTML. In case it can be useful for a uPortal
admin, this setting is located in the table UP_SS_THEME, column
show/hide quoted text
"serializer_name". So now I see "</option>", and I also see "<br />"
instead of "<br>".
Thanks again to everyone.
