How to Make Select Element be Transparent in Chrome?

Answer 1

select {
  width:192px;
  padding:2px;
  border:none;
  background:url(http://imgur.com/MJyZM.png) 0 0 no-repeat;
  -webkit-appearance: none;
}

  abcdefg

  abcdefg

Not tested on firefox but it seems -webkit-appearance: none; disables specific behaviours webkit can apply.
