You can control border style by using the style attributes here is an example

<TEXTAREA style='color: darkblue;
background-color: white;
font: bold 10pt verdana;
border: 2px solid #808080;
word-wrap : break-word;
width : 250px;
height : 100px;
overflow: visible;' ></TEXTAREA>

Aahhh..! I am sorry I asked the question for the wrong element.
I wanted to control the border style for a <SELECT> tag ....not textArea!

is there a way..b'cos I tried it the same way as you mentioned for TextArea..but the border style doesn't seem to change?

The <Select> tag does not support the border style attribute. You maybe able to surround the <select> tag with a table structure and use the border style attribute on the <tr> or <td> tags however the border will still be around the select tag.

That's not technicaly correct, IMHO. It is a browser dependant feature, I believe. While your statement might hold true for IE on windows, some other browsers certainly let you control the borders on select boxes perfectly well.

yeah for whatever reason IE does not allow you format select or button tags
