I'm using this to change the border on a bunch of textboxes, however
when applied to a dropdownlist the borders don't get set. Also, is it
possible to change the color of the dropdown button on the the
dropdownlist?

Thanks.

.test
{
        color:#949494;
        font-family:Comic Sans MS;
        border-style:solid;
        border-color:rgb(204,207,194);

scrollbar-face-color: #FFCCCC;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #4B4B4B;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #646464;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #969696;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #C0C0C0;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #090925;
scrollbar-track-color: #051011;

}

According to the validator, you are using non-existent attributes:

        .test         Property scrollbar-face-color doesn't exist : #ffcccc
        .test         Property scrollbar-highlight-color doesn't exist : #4b4b4b
        .test         Property scrollbar-3dlight-color doesn't exist : #646464
        .test         Property scrollbar-darkshadow-color doesn't exist : #969696
        .test         Property scrollbar-shadow-color doesn't exist : #c0c0c0
        .test         Property scrollbar-arrow-color doesn't exist : #090925
        .test         Property scrollbar-track-color doesn't exist : #051011

Tsk, tsk. "Scrollbar-shadow-color" indeed! That's ie crap, not valid css.
If you _really_ want to use that baloney at least put it in an ie comment.

The IE-specific settings that you use aren't supported even by IE for the
visual rendering of <select> elements. You might try to circumvent this by
using a set of radio buttons instead, wrapping them inside a fieldlist or
div element and setting various properties for it, so that you get something
that resembles a dropdownlist.

It's not worth doing, though. First, by messing around with scrollbar
settings, you mess up the browser's interface. Second, you are most probably
(ab)using <select> as a poor surrogate for a list of links.
