just FYI:
"CSS 2.1 does not define which properties apply to form controls and
frames, or how CSS can be used to style them. User agents may apply CSS
properties to these elements. Authors are recommended to treat such
support as experimental. A future level of CSS may specify this
further." [1]

So: I wouldn't rely on the browsers handling this in any way consistent
as it's simply nowhere defined. If you want to have fancy dropdowns use
divs and JS :(
