CSS background-image issue for <select> &

Answer 1

Its not that easy to change form element's style.. each browser has it's own way to render and create those elements. Some browsers will accept having a background image inside your select, others won't.

A simple technique is to add a default color, so the browser will render the color if it cant render the image.

background: #c3c3c3 url(http://www.3dtuning.ru/img/design/gallery-back.png) repeat-x 0 0;

so this way, firefox users will see a background image (something that always looks ugly, in my opinion) and the rest of the browsers will display with a gray background.

Hope this helps
