    Post the form code here. May be it is wrong form code.

    It is <input> not <imput> So check that too.

      Form code is ok. Try removing that euro sign (it displayed differently on my computer) and paste the code on your site and see the dropdown displays.

    You are probably going to need to use a plugin that allows you to add raw code to a post. Most of the Ad type plugins will do this. I can't think of any off hand.

    Now on to your next problem:
    What are you posting the form to?
    <form action="" method="post">
    Without an action, you'll just be posting to the same page and if the page isn't setup to do anything with it, it will just be lost.

    I would just install and use a Wordpress Contact Form. That way it is written in WP's language and will work so much easier.

    Try cforms11, contact form 7, Gravity forms...etc
