For some reason the select rails tag results in a very ugly grey select

  • 0

For some reason the select rails tag results in a very ugly grey select box. I’ve been looking around for a way to change this, I’m guessing some sort of default CSS is generated for select boxes by rails but since I have deleted the default stylesheet that rails builds I have no idea where these settings would be set from.

How can I change this ugly default style?

What is the default CSS for a select (outside of ruby)?

EDIT: Turns out the problem is that I”m running it on VirtualBox Linux and the default select box there is the problem.

    It’s probably the browser default?

    Adding select { } to your stylesheet and then customizing it with your own rules will cover all the tags without adding a class to every select box you create. Not that that’s a bad idea.
