Applying border style to <SELECT>

[RakhiKalra]

Hi Friends,
I am making a web page and applying CSS to the elements of the form.i applied border to <input> like:-
------------------------------------------------------
input {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: x-small;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
border: 1px solid Blue;
}
--------------------------------------------------------
my input boxes and buttons are shown as expected but when i write :-
select {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: x-small;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
border: 1px solid Blue;
}
then my combo boxes or select lists are not shown as other elements are..
my form is looking bad cause of inconsistency in the display of different elements...
PLEASE HELP... I WUD B REALLY GREATFUL IF ANY BODY SOLVES THIS PROBLEM OF MINE.
Thanx


Cheers

unfortunately you cannot change the border property of a select box, this is the only form element that has this problem. To get round it you may have to get hold of a free scripted select box

on error goto hell

IE never fixed it but it works in NS...

RakhiKalra, you can use DHTML or JS to create a &quot;dynamic&quot; select box that has different color scheme. Try looking over at:

It's no big deal really...

The thing is, when IE7 comes out, they'll have &quot;probably&quot; fixed it by then and you'll havta go back and get rid of the code bloat...or add more...heh heh. }:^)
