Thanks, Philippe - I was hoping that I'd hear otherwise. I'm not
attempting to make radical changes to the user interface: just aiming
for consistency. Interesting that certain widgets are off-limits in
this sense, yet submit can be OS-built, text, or image. I had
considered using dropdown menu scripting for this, but sense massive
overkill (and I don't like javascript unless absolutely needed).

Apologies if this has been discussed before, but is it my bad coding,
or does Safari (v2.02, latest build) not honour any select styles?
Further, is there a way to dictate how option can display styled
font attributes across all CSS-compliant browsers? My aim is to make
the drop-down in the same style as the rest of the page, but I'm
having limited success. Firefox and IE have no problems, on WinXP and
OS X (though IE on OS X does odd things when options are selected).
Styling form widgets across browsers is notoriously difficult:

styling_even_more_form_controls/
(and from a usability perspective, not always the recommended option)
And no, Safari doesn't allow styling of the select and option, the
same goes for Camino and iCab. Opera has a user option to disable
author styling of form widgets (something I really like...).
