Makes it a lot easier to read when viewing the source of the generated
webpage to see why it doesn't do what you want.
In this case, the OP is talking about 100 options in each list ....
If you were trying to debug that webpage, would you prefer:
<select name="somename" id="someid">
<option value="somevalue">sometext</option>
<option value="somevalue">sometext</option>
... repeat 98 more times 1 per line
</select>
or:
<select name="somename" id="someid"><option
value="somevalue">sometext</option><option
value="somevalue">sometext</option> .. repeat 98 more times on the same
line </select>
