Setting the height of a SELECT in IE

Question

Answer 1

Finally found in http://viralpatel.net/blogs/2009/09/setting-height-selectbox-combobox-ie.html a simple solution (at least for IE8):

font-size:      1.0em;

BTW, for Google Chrome, found this workaround at How to standardize the height of a select box between Chrome and Firefox? */

-webkit-appearance: menulist-button;
