Dropdown menu wont stick to table - php

Question

I have a CSS related problem, that would look easy, but I have been slamming my head against the wall for the last hour, since the tweaks arround i tried are not applying.
For some odd reason, the select dropdown menu wont stick into the cell, but is placed above the table.See picture below
The loop code to generate the table is build up as followed: (i didnt bother posting the php cause thats not relevant)
echo '<tr class="items">';
echo '<td id="cell11">'.$Date.'</td>';
echo '<td id="cell21">'.$link.'</td>';
echo '<td id="Fright1">'.MakeUserRoleDropdown($StatusId).'</td>';
echo '</tr>';
The CSS is pretty basic:
select { width: 367px; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; color: #666; background: white; border: 1px solid #CECECE; padding: 4px;}
.dropdownrole { width:150px;}
#cell11 { padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; width: 200px; text-align:left;}
#cell21 { padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; width: 200px; text-align:left;}
#Fright1 { padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; width: 200px; text-align:right;}
table.items tr { height: 32px; background:url(../images/tableRow.png); border-top: 1px solid #CCC; padding: 0; margin: 0;}
.items { width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; color: ##797979; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px; }
table { border-spacing:2px;}
dropdownrole is in this case te class applied to the dropdown menu.
As you see, the dropdown wont apply to the row and just is put above the table (even in the code it's not even in the cell) And I cant wrap my head arround why. I made cells already bigger in size (height and width) but no luck.
Did i do something wrong within the CSS?
EDIT
Per request of the dropdown function.
function MakeUserRoleDropdown($StatusId){
echo "<select name='StatusId' class='dropdownrole'>";
$results = LoadRoles();
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($results)){
echo "<option value='".$row['SgroupId']."' ";
if($StatusId == $row['SgroupId']){
echo "selected='selected'";
};
echo ">".$row['SgroupUser']."</option>";
}
echo "</select>";
}
And here is the output in HTML.

I Think the problem is, that you call MakeUserRoleDropdown which contains echos
you proceed to use this method in this string: echo '<td id="Fright1">'.MakeUserRoleDropdown($StatusId).'</td>';
Alter your MakeUserRoleDropdown to this:
function MakeUserRoleDropdown($StatusId){
$str = '';
$str .= "<select name='StatusId' class='dropdownrole'>";
$results = LoadRoles();
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($results)){
$str .= "<option value='".$row['SgroupId']."' ";
if($StatusId == $row['SgroupId']){
$str .= "selected='selected'";
};
$str .= ">".$row['SgroupUser']."</option>";
}
$str .="</select>";
return $str;
}
And you should be good.
