Ahh, no, that’s not what I meant. Two times in one post, ouch. The black arrow is always there. On hover, the button on the right side of the select box (what you see now in IE6, Firefox, and Safari) appears.

I can't read the button font on any web page under IE 7 and vista on my IBM notebook. Problem is worse with text fields. Anyone aware of this issue and a solution?</p> I have the same problem as Bill L. I can’t read the button font on any web page under IE 7 and vista on my IBM notebook.

Tredosoft has documentation on that. But, I haven't installed the full IE7 upgrade yet, so I'm nore sure about the official release.</p> I know there is a problem with the select menus in the “unofficial” IE7 Standalone install from Tredosoft.

I had some problems with onclick and onkeydown. Basically, I was trying to change the background color of the active element. Having the onclick and onkeydown attached to the select completely broke the widget. The highlight worked, but the dropdown did not open. Sometimes if you double-click the arrow the options will show, but when you select something other than the default, the selected option is the default instead of what you clicked on. Onfocus does the same thing. Aparently, may need to use an onfocusin proprietary event handler. Not sure if this is new. By the way the highlight code with onclick and onkeydown works fine in every browser, but IE7. I've also heard of other more serious issues with the select...not registering the value of the selected option even though the focus is on the desired item. This might have some serious effects especially when you try to transfer money between your bank accounts. Sorry about the long comment.</p> Has anyone ran into any issues with the select and event handlers, yet? I had some problems with onclick and onkeydown.

Now I REALLY feel like shelling out the money for Vista... Do you think they accept donations on top of the retail price?</p> Ha!
