Bob, Jeff and others,
I'm trying to apply some style to my form elements for the first time,
namely to the *select* element. To my surprise, Jeff's shorthand version
for border broke the forms elements completely in NN4.76/Mac, while Bob's
border declarations worked - that is the select elements didn't show any
style, but looked ok otherwise. If I change the shorthand to
border-style : 1px #333333 solid;
it also seems to work. All three versions show style in NN6, of course.
I'm wondering: Is this a Mac bug? How do others apply styles to select
elements? Have you experienced any broken select elements - that is: no
scrollbar, no "drop-down arrow", all the options of the select listed in
one line of text?
Thanks for your comments, remarks, warnings,
Gerd
