I don't think some CSS works on the select tag currently. Don't ask me why though. I remember back when I was starting out with CSS I wanted to do the same thing and it doesn't work. I know you can set colors and background colors but not borders, and I'm not sure about widths...Wink

This is not possible. That is, not with regular CSS.
You might want to check this example of faking a select box with some javascripting:
