      1. In IE 10 (or 11?), open the developer console.
      2. Load the question bank, selecting a category that has some subcategories.
      3. This commit should fix the message about nested form tags.
      4. Changing categories should work correctly.
      5. Verify changing categries still works in another browser too.
      6. Repeat these steps but using the Edit quiz page ([Show] the question bank there if necessary).

    Description

      In question bank, the current code for the category selector uses a single_select object, which is a form consisting of a single <Select> tag. Because this selector is already inside of the <form action="edit.php">, that means we have a form within a form, which is invalid. MSIE complains about the invalid html on its console.

      To output valid HTML in a way that is consistent with the surrounding code, the linked commit replaces the single_select object with a html_writer::select.
