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...).
