Option selected in selection fields

Hello,

I've got a sentence with 3 selection fields. This the HTML code generated for IE 8 in Spanish
<P>Richard: Are there still&nbsp; <SELECT><OPTION selected value=1>any</OPTION><OPTION value=2>some</OPTION><OPTION value=3>much</OPTION></SELECT>&nbsp;empty seats <SELECT><OPTION selected value=1>in</OPTION><OPTION value=2>at</OPTION><OPTION value=3>on</OPTION></SELECT>&nbsp;the room, Tina?</P>

but the HTML code generated for IE 6.2 in English, the code generated is:
<P>Richard: Are there still &nbsp;<SELECT><OPTION value=1 selected>any</OPTION><OPTION value=2>some</OPTION><OPTION value=3>much</OPTION></SELECT> empty seats <SELECT><OPTION value=1 selected>in</OPTION><OPTION value=2>at</OPTION><OPTION value=3>on</OPTION></SELECT> the room, Tina?</P>

Why the "selected" tag appears in different order? Is there any configuration option to solve this?

I've got in the fckconfig.js the following settings:

...
FCKConfig.AutoDetectLanguage = false ;
FCKConfig.DefaultLanguage = 'en' ;

Any idea?

Thanks a lot,

Daniel I.
