I'm not looking for an apology, just for enough information to use to help you. (And I'd like you to learn a little about the workings of such forums. This forum is particularly helpful and friendly, but even here, it's still considered impolite to complain about a thirteen-hour delay in responses. And using ALL-CAPS is interpreted as shouting.) Is there any simple way you can post your code somewhere people can look at it altogether, rather than the snippets you've posted? JSBin [1] can be very useful for this, although it doesn't give you a place to host your images. Browsers, especially Firefox with Firebug, give us some useful tools for analyzing such problems, so if we can see the problem in situ. Depending upon your needs, you might find helpful something I did on a recent project. I had some real mouthfuls to put into drop-downs, things like "Chapter 130: Department of Economic and Community Development: Redevelopment and Urban Renewal; State and Federal Aid; Community Development; Urban Homesteading (Secs. 8-124 to 8-169w)." Even in the really wide drop-downs I had available, monstrosities like this wouldn't fit. I simply trimmed down the text in JS to something that fit in my width. "Chapter 130: Department of Economic and Community Development: Redevelopment and Urban … ( Secs. 8-124 to 8-169w)" It's still a mouthful, but it's doable. If this would work for you, I can probably throw together a simplified version of the code for that. I am also mostly a Java developer, but in the last few years I have done a lot of front-end work, and become fairly proficient in HTML/CSS/ Javascript. The original issue you're describing is not really solvable. You simply can't style drop-downs in IE. Either the technique you tried above or one like this suggestion here is probably the way to go. But the issue you presented with your sample code is not a JQuery issue or a Javascript one. It's probably best addressed as HTML/CSS. Good luck, -- Scott [1] http://jsbin.com/
