# TinyMCE closing incorrectly

 * I’m trying to put in a simple form that has a <select> with multiple <option>
   statements. For some reason when I go to visual editor after writting the html,
   there is inserted a <select> </select> around every <option>. Obviously this 
   doesn’t work to create a dropdown select list. Any ideas of why this is happening
   and what to do?
 * This is the code snippet from the html editor:
 *     ```
       <table>
       <tr><td><input type="hidden" name="on0" value="Support levels">Support levels</td></tr><tr><td>
           <select name="os0">
       	<option value="Option 1">Option 1 : $5.00USD - monthly</option>
       	<option value="Option 2">Option 2 : $3.00USD - monthly</option>
       	<option value="Option 3">Option 3 : $1.00USD - monthly</option>
           </select>
       </td></tr>
       </table>
       ```
   
 * And this is the result after going into the visual editor:
 *     ```
       <table>
               <tbody>
                   <tr>
                       <td>
                           <input type="hidden" name="on0" value="Support levels" />
                           Support levels
                       </td>
                   </tr>
                   <tr>
                       <td>
                           <select name="os0">
                               <option value="Option 1">
                                   Option 1 : $5.00USD - monthly
                               </option>
                           </select>
                           <select name="os0">
                               <option value="Option 2">
                                   Option 2 : $3.00USD - monthly
                               </option>
                           </select>
                           <select name="os0">
                               <option value="Option 3">
                                   Option 3 : $1.00USD - monthly
                               </option>
                           </select>
                       </td>
                   </tr>
               </tbody>
           </table>
       ```
