modifying control apperance on the webpage

[matthias s.]

Hi there,

Is there a way to safely (meaning, it yields identical results in most
browsers) customize the appearance of standard WebControls such as a
TextBox or a DropDownList?

I know that I can manipulate a TextBox' appearance by using a style
definition, but this doesn't seem to work with DropDownLists, thus
resulting in an inconsistent overall appearance.

Can this be done? Any points would be greatly appreceated.

the dropdown list (<select>) look is more operating system dependant than
browser, but no, there is no perfect solution.
