	In IE (up to and including IE 5.5), no, this is not possible. You can
define only a limited number of CSS properties that will work for the
<select>, such as font-family, color, and background-color. Border settings
have no effect.
	Netscape 6 does support most CSS properties on the <select> and <option>
elements, allowing you to do what you want to do. Hopefully IE6 (someday)
will follow suit...
