ASKER

it just says "In Internet Explorer, the select lists are unstyled, but the checkboxes and radio buttons still look and function beautifully"

have you used the script before?

Michel Plungjan

Ah, you are right.
I read
"This works flawlessly in Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer 7, Opera and others. "

unfortunatly it uses a different frame work to what the sites built in. We use jQuery

And the technique is not portable?

my developer says not

Michel Plungjan

Hmm, here is a jQuery one that seems to work in IE too

cheers, that one might solve the problem, the only draw back is that the functionality is slightly limited, you cant use a key press to jump to a selection

Michel Plungjan

Yeah...

How about getting the developer to write one from scratch?
