Un-Beveled Pull-Down Lists

[Alex Maghen]

I don't seem to be able to do anything to change the border style of my
standard pull-down list controls on a page. I've messed with the Style
property, the Border-Style property, everything. Nothing seems to have any
effect. Any idea why? Is this even possible? All I want is to change it from
Beveled to single line border.

That depends on how the browser displays the control. If the browser
uses a system control, there is less you can do to change the apperance.

Some browsers (e.g. Firefox/Netscape) allows you to change the border
style, some (e.g. Internet Explorer) doesn't.

Hi Alex,

As for the ASP.NET dropdownlist styling issue you met, it does be due to
the client browser's support on the style displaying. And I agree with
Giran that the IE browser has limitation on display the border style.
Actually the ASP.NET dropdownlist control is rendered as html <select>
element at client-side, so it is the <select> element that we apply CSS
style on. Currently for html <select> element, IE use the system windows
control to display it, and the windows list control has limitation on some
certain css style support such as the border style and Z-index.

Sorry for the inconvenience it brings you.

Regards,

Steven Cheng
