How to format <select> tag?

Hi,

I'm new here ( Hi all ), and my problem is:

Is possible to change layout of drop-down list made with <select> & <option>
tags. I don't like this ugly gray arrow, slider etc. in normal dropdown
element.
I tried the same way like for eq. <input> but in case of <select> it dosen't
work.

Any ideas?

Thx in advance.

M.A.P.

Hey Man,

Dropdowns are actually part of your OS, and not the browser, so there
is unfortunately nothing you can do to change their appearances...

I'm guessing (more like hoping) that there will be a fix later on and
allowing the programming or markuping available for this feature.

You can still change the color for your scroll bar or the scrollbar of
the textarea by using the CSS of:

body {
scrollbar-3dlight-color:skyblue;
scrollbar-arrow-color:#001155;
scrollbar-base-color:#033000;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color:#000d00;
scrollbar-face-color:skyblue;
scrollbar-highlight-color:#0d0000;
scrollbar-track-color:#f00000;
scrollbar-shadow-color:#22d000
}

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,
Drew Decker

You think so? In IE, yeah, but anywhere else? Index DOT CSS
http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/ says that Opera supports it, but only if
the user really wants it enough to manually add a line to a configuration
file.

It's part of the GUI prefs in Opera (disabled by default).

This has got to be obvious, but I can't make it work. I have a form called with 3 pull down menus. They are linked to a database which generates the values for the <SELECT? Pull-downs. Lets say I have values selected for all three pull down menus. When I change the first "top-level" menu I want to reset both the second and third menus to the "default" state.

Hello, I am used to using the label tag with check boxes and radio buttons in html forms. This allows me to click on the text of the label to activate/deactivate the check box / button, rather than having to click on the (possibly small) box or button. I recently tried to assign a label to a select "drop down list", but found that when I clicked on the label text to bring it into focus, the select box was reset to the first entry. ...
