Have you confirmed that it isn't the browser doing this?
That is, with the mark safe in place, have you looked at the output with

Or have you made a static html page with the desired construct in it, and
viewed it in the browser?
It may bee that option elements can't contain block level elements. You
could see what you can do with span instead of div.
