The property "selectd" is spelled wrong, and should be selected="selected" .

IE is full of bugs when it comes to css. There are many things that work well with FF and not at all (or at least requiring a hack) for IE.

Hover is one
<li> is another (the tribute used in drop down menu's)

More than just IE not implementing things, you should be aware that form elements in particular (like drop down lists), have very different support across many browsers. You will not be able to style them all exactly the same no matter how hard you try, so you should design with that limitation in mind.
