Drop down list in user profile page

thanks for that. Just one minor tweak, as the first bit of code threw up an error. Below is the working code for the first block of code.

//hooks
add_action( 'show_user_profile', 'Add_user_fields' );
add_action( 'edit_user_profile', 'Add_user_fields' );

function Add_user_fields( $user ) { ?>

<h3>Extra fields</h3>
<table class="form-table">
    <tr>
        <th><label for="text">text</label></th>
        <td>
            <?php 
            // get test saved value
            $saved = esc_attr( get_the_author_meta( 'user_text', $user->ID ) );
            ?>
            <input type="text" name="user_text" id="user_text" value="<?php echo $saved; ?>" class="regular-text" /><br />
            <span class="description">Simple text field</span>
        </td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
        <th><label for="dropdown">dropdown Select field</label></th>
        <td>
            <?php 
            //get dropdown saved value
            $selected = get_the_author_meta( 'user_select', $user->ID ); //there was an extra ) here that was not needed 
            ?>
            <select name="user_select" id="user_select">
                <option value="value1" <?php echo ($selected == "value1")?  'selected="selected"' : '' ?>>Value One label</option>
                <option value="value2" <?php echo ($selected == "value2")?  'selected="selected"' : '' ?>>Value Two label</option>
</select>


            <span class="description">Simple text field</span>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

The second part is fine.

add_action( 'personal_options_update', 'save_user_fields' );
add_action( 'edit_user_profile_update', 'save_user_fields' );

function save_user_fields( $user_id ) {

if ( !current_user_can( 'edit_user', $user_id ) )
    return false;

//save text field
update_usermeta( $user_id, 'user_text', $_POST['user_text'] );

//save dropdown
update_usermeta( $user_id, 'user_select', $_POST['user_select'] );
}
