Is there a way to hide the border of a drop down menu in IE (to make it look flat, blend into the background)? In Firefox it’s simple enough to just set the border to 0px, but IE still renders a border even if you set the border to 0px.

This isn’t possible in IE. They don’t allow styling of the drop-down component of a list, except for the text inside it (ie. red text).
IE actually uses a Windows-level control, not a browser-based one, so it is rather limited.
Edit: When this post was originally made, a stable version of IE8 wasn’t released yet. According to comments, IE8 supports border styling. However, even ~2 years after IE8’s release, you still shouldn’t count on all of your users having IE8+.
