It doesn't work on mine either.

I didn't see anything about border here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...cts/select.asp

This doesn't sound promising:

Have you tried something like "border:1px white solid", where the
color is the color of your background?


Unfortunately, IE's select element is one windowed control that is
resistant to various attempts to tame it. It will not allow you to set
its border properties, nor will it z-index, for instance. And, sadly,
none of that appears to have changed with IE 6.

this applies also to some other form-elements. For historical reasons
some form-elements are elements from the operating system's gui. Which
these elements are differs from browser to browser, but afaik IE uses
the OS's selects, checkboxes and radiobuttons.

I have a sample script from a book ("Beginning JavaScript" by Paul Wilton) that removes or adds a choice to a <SELECT> element. The <FORM> is form1 and the <SELECT> is theDay. The example uses these lines (full text is below): if (document.form1.theDay.options.text != "Wednesday) { var days = document.form1.theDay; days.options.text = days.options.text; <snip> var option - new Option("Wednesday", 2);

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. ...

Does anyone know it is possible to include a small image(.gif .jpeg) within a <SELECT><option> so that the user would see the option text as well as a little image(icon) in the option?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
