select box

How can I remove (or apply color) the border from select box .
(for example:
<select name="st" style="?">
<option>111111111111111</option>
<option>222222222222222</option>
<option>3</option>
</select>)
I had tried many types of style like:
style="border:solid orange" - doesn't work!

Thanks.

There is limited browser support for styles on form elements - particularly on select elements.

What web browser are you using?

Ant

This, for example, will work in IE 5

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<select style="background-color: #990000; color: #ffffff;">
<option value="1">One</option>
<option value="2">Two</option>
<option value="3">Three</option>
<option value="4">Four</option>
<option value="5">Five</option>
</select>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Max is correct about the border there is no standard browser that supports border changes for select; that is also true of the scroll bars on the select. Ant is also correct on the limited styling available in IE5+.
