Thanks Martin, I tried your mark-up, but found a gap between adleft1 and 2. I shifted the outer div, removed the margins and Presto! [1] However, I'm getting confused now as to why this should work whilst others didn't [2] Bob [1]http://www.rspcacornwall.org.uk/testbed/floatdivs_martin.html

Re: [WSG] styling a select box

You could just use a regular select, and then use javascript to find it, strip it out, and replace it with your own uber-select. Here's something along those lines: http://ryanfait.com/resources/custom-checkboxes-and-radio-buttons/ - James 2009/10/8 Сергей Кириченко tt.s...@gmail.com
