1 - There may be an issue with ...
key equals space quote - value= 'rat'
Instead, use
key equals doublequote - value="rat"
2 - selected may need to be shown as selected="selected"
I think this is a due to a difference in the HTML / XHTML standards,
so depending upon the doctype you are generating ...
