CSS & Select (Drop-down) Boxes in IE

[cfgcjm]

I've had this problem before and just left it go however now i have no choice but to deal with it. I have a select box:

 

<select name="hr" id="hr" class="fieldhr" onchange="wipebutton();">
     <option></option> 
     <option>5-A</option> 
     <option>5-B</option> 
     <option>6-A</option> 
     <option>6-B</option> 
     <option>7-A</option> 
     <option>7-B</option> 
</select>

 

And I need to change some of it's css properties. I've tried external, internal, and inline CSS and the only properties that will change in IE are height and width. Any changes made to the border, font-size, paddings, etc. show in FF but not IE (7+).

 

Any idea why...and how to fix this?

because those properties aren't supported on those tags in IE
