To my knowledge, this is indeed not possible in IE, and you'll stuck with the default 3D look of the select boxes. It's beyond me why we can't style these with CSS, whereas we ARE allowed to style regular input boxes. __ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

Although it's true that you can the style the text/background colors of a select dropdown, I don't see how you can get rid of the 3D border in IE7. Have a look: http://www.senff.com/select.html The bottom dropdown should have a 1 pixel red border (as you can see in FF and IE8 for example), but IE7 doesn't take that and keeps showing the default 3D style. In fact, I really don't see a difference between IE6 and IE7 (styling of text/colors was already possible in IE6 as well). Am I missing something? mS __ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
[css-d] styling select drop down in IE
Can CSS be applied to the select tag in IE? I can't get mine to remove the 3D effect. I remember something about the styling of selects being an operating system style that can't be overwritten.
