In IE8 I was testing a form. When I got to a drop-down(just a basic HTML one, no special CSS or JavaScript) it triggered IE’s inbuilt pop-up blocker, I tried numerous times with the pop-up blocker enabled and disabled. I also turned all of IE’s security settings down to the lowest they’ll go.

I’ll write a full post as to why I’m moving servers once it’s completed.
