Change the drop down border style in IE7?

Hi,

Can one change the drop down border style in Internet Explorer 7.

As is can't be done in IE6!

I think it is not possible to apply a border for the <select>'s <option> elements in IE. In Firefox it will work without any problem.

So you need to look for a solution which will provide you with an effect of a combo box but which is not a <select> list.

I've been using a free product which is based on JS/CSS that will give you the freedom to adjust the any kind of style attributes according to your needs.

It has its own API or we can do it ourselves using the normal JS/CSS without much trouble.

They provide products in two general categories:

(1) Standard free open source version
(2) Commercial version

The standard free version supports basic features of an item (features of your required products can be found at the products page) and Commercial items supports some advanced features with their support for implementing some new items if you are stuck up somewhere.

But I feel for your purpose you can use the standard free edition which can be downloaded from their site. If you have any technical problems even using the free edition you can use thier forum to resolve the issues. There are working examples and the documentation about the product(s) in the products page.

http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/index.shtml - Their products page that has details about all of their products.
