Recommend Firefox.

MSIE "Select" dropdown/list controls don't show background as stated by Msoft: http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/autho...

>> Except for "background-color" and "color", style settings applied through the style object for the option element are ignored.

Also, a propietary MSIE style "scrollbar-arrow-color" and all other scrollbar related styles don't show for "select" based controls.

With Firefox you can set style="background-image: url( myImage.jpg)"

If you want a colorful dropdown control for .NET and MSIE only, you can try this link http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/HtmlCo...
