How to change a Combo Box Shape?

[scubajoe]

Hi all

I use a combo box like this

<td><select id="SubCat" name="SubCat" style="width:220px; background:#FFFFFF;">

and i would like to change the look i know how to change colors,size even add shadow or blur but what i would like to do is to get a diffrent look
like maybe the look i get when i see it in Safari or Opera

is it possible

Cheers

Those are just rendering differences between the browsers. Those are pretty much out of your control.

so there is nothing to do in the code if i wish to change the look in explorer 7.0

really? i dont want to use flash or gif

cheers!

To change the look of a combobox or any of the other input objects you would have to completely rebuild it from scratch.

When the html says combobox the browser decides what it looks like and fills it with the data. This cannot be changed.

HTML doesn't have a combo box construct. If you want one you have to combine an input field and selection list together yourself.
