Formatting a <SELECT> box

[Laphan]

Hi All

Could you please confirm what the syntax is to change the style of a
<SELECT> box using CSS.

I basically want to take the 3D effect off this box, but it doesn't seem to
be possible like it is with an <INPUT> box.

Thanks

Laphan

some selector that will match the select element you want to alter {
property: value;
other property: value;
}

Browser support for styling of select elements is variable, but generally
more limited that text inputs.

Which is mostly a good thing, since authors so often want to confuse
users by making form fields look like something else than form fields.

_Sensible_ styling, such as
select, input, textarea, button { font-size: 100%; }
(to remove the common browser default of reducing font size in form
fields)
works fairly well on most current browsers.
