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/
