CSS and Select boxes?

[CFHub]

Am I missing something with the CSS style properties associated with SELECT boxes?

I have code like this in my header:

<style type=&quot;text/css&quot;>
<!--

.TEXTBOX {background-color: transparent; color: #000000; border-color:#3399cc; border-style: solid}
.SUBMIT {font-family: Verdana; font-size: 8pt; font-weight: bold; border-color:#3399cc; background-color: transparent; color: #122326; border-style: solid; cursor:hand}
.TEXTAREA {background-color: transparent; color: #000000; border-color:#3399cc; border-style: solid; font-family:arial}
.SELECT {background-color: transparent; color: #000000; border-color:#3399cc; border-style: solid; font-family:arial}

-->
</style>

And a simple (nice looking) form like this:

<form action=&quot;index.cfm&quot; method=&quot;post&quot;>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;test1&quot; class=&quot;textbox&quot;><br><br>
<textarea name=&quot;test2&quot; class=&quot;textarea&quot;>Default..</textarea><br><br>
<select name=&quot;test3&quot;>
<option class=&quot;select&quot;>Test1
<option class=&quot;select&quot;>Test2
</select>
<br><br>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;submit&quot; class=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;SEARCH&quot;>
</form>

All the elements look very nice and are using the CSS styles EXCEPT the Select box??

Is there some subtle trick to this?

Thanks for any pointers

I guess IE doesn't like having borders on select boxes. It'll work fine in Netscape 6 if you change the names of the classes to lowercase...

IE seems to have a real problem with most style attributes when applied to a select box. I think I read someone say that it has something to do with it being a windows widget.

Thanks for the quick replies

I will accept as fact that it just won't work. I guess I can live with just making the background &quot;transparent&quot; (which does work) and just forget that the select boxes border is doomed to black.

Best of luck. -Joseph Thompson -->prefers ketchup TY
