Also, you're linking a CSS in, which you haven't posted the source to:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../design-style.css" type="text/css">

Maybe you could edit your FAQ and put the CSS on the page??

Er... last option is not visible.

well, u may have to workaround with the position of the divs (at the end of the page)...

they hold an IFRAME that CAN be drawn over the select box...

Note:
sometimes a javascript error props up, ignore it...

Somehow I don't think that using IFRAME and buncha DIV's to hide border is the way to go... if you know dimensions of SELECT box, set it's position to absolute and set clipping area:

<Select multiple size="8" style="position: absolute; clip:rect( 3px 229px  133px 3px );">
... 8 options
</select>
