You might want to pursue a slightly different approach and make the list
presented dependent. So if hours is chosen in the first box, only
acceptable entries are offered in the second (same for minutes). See Debra
Dalgleish's pages on this approach (assume you are using the list option
with data = validation for your dropdowns).
