Q: 

Styling select and options in html (IE 6)

I want to stlye a select element. i.e to constrain its width to a specified value,background-color. I also want to be able to style the option set(via Option constructor)

Is it possible. I am using IE6.

A: 

Just a note. Because IE6 renders the drop down box using Windows Shell ListBox and Combobox controls, many styling features do not work. I wish I could find an old link out ther for you but I cant seem to find it. I belive background-color will not work, I know border color does not work in ie 6.

Here is the best link I could find. It explains some but not all
