Question

I am on a mac running firefox. I have a website and the select dropdown box has a funny style:

When I look at other websites in the same browser they look different:

Or even at my code here: jsFiddle

What could possibly be causing my website to display how it is because as I understand it you have very little control over how select boxes are displayed?

Thanks

Answer 1

Are you using CSS to format <select>? Or a CSS reset?
If you use some rules like border or background, the default style disappears and you get this grey box..
You should remove those CSS settings.
