Re: faulty jump menu
The issue is not because of the tags, in fact, the tags are erroneous due to the deprecated [b:2yczpvte]language[/b:2yczpvte] attribute on the script tag.

The passed argument on your onchange event is unnecessary, which could be rectified into:
[code:2yczpvte]
<select name="jumpmenu" onchange ="jumpto (this.value)">
[/code:2yczpvte]
Aside from that, replace your script with:
[code:2yczpvte]
<script type="text/javascript">
function jumpto(x) {
location.href=x;
}
</script>
[/code:2yczpvte]
Hope that helps.
