[css-d] Style a select tag (the arrow part)
Hello all, Is there a way to style the down arrow in a tag as shown in this image with just CSS for IE6 and FF3? http://stephentang.info/test/selecttag.gif Based on current information on the internet, I presume that there is no way to do this with CSS only. Am I right?

Blake, Thanks for the reply and confirming this. I did find several Javascript-based solutions in my internet search, so I will investigate those options further.

Hi Steve, I found this CSS only hack to allow a pretty select menu with no JavaScript. http://pennypacker.net/articles/css_tricks_select_menu It works okay in FF3 but falls back to the default in IE6. Is an input value for a form? ~Mx http://www.mxdx.co.uk 2009/2/17 Stephen Tang : > Blake, > Thanks for the reply and confirming this.

Hi Martyn, I saw that in my internet searches, but it doesn't work in IE6, and unfortunately, the projects I am working on all still use IE6. I don't object to using Javascript and CSS to style the tag, but I wanted to see if I missed anything about a CSS-only solution. So far, I have found no evidence of a CSS-only solution that would work in IE6 and FF3. --Stephen On Tue, Feb 17, 2009 at 6:59 AM, Virgilio Quilario wrote: >> I found this CSS only hack to allow a pretty select menu with no JavaScript. >> http://pennypacker.net/articles/css_tricks_select_menu >> It works okay in FF3 but falls back to the default in IE6. >> Is an input value for a form? > > yeah works okay in FF3 but you can't see the item you select. > i'm sure there's a way to do it in css got to experiment. > > virgil > http://www.jampmark.com > __ 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/
