if you are using <select class="cmbBox"> your style should be of the form element.class i.e.

select.cmbBox {
etc etc.
}

Note the '.' in front of cmbBox:

.cmbBox {
background-color: navy;
border: black 2px solid;
color: 00000;
font-family: arial, verdana, ms sans serif;
font-size: 18pt;
font-weight: normal
}
