[jQuery] Re: Plugin help: need dropdown (stylable in IE)

If you are just redirecting them to a URL, probably the easiest way would be to use a CSS Dropdown box like the one described in this: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/horizdropdowns/

Hello,

Searching for dropdown in the plugin repository yields dozens of results, most of which have no comments. So I'm hoping someone out there with experience using the kind of plugin I need can chime in. :)

Currently I have a SELECT field that contains theme names. Upon choosing a value in the select, the user hits a submit button and the page reloads, now with the new theme var being used to load the right CSS file.

This presents a problem because we've customized the dropdown area (see attached image), and IE6 (which we need to support) doesn't let you style select boxes - you're stuck with the gray arrow and ugly outline, etc.

I assume the only way to handle this is to do a JS solution, so I'm looking for a good, stylable dropdown plugin. It doesn't need to do anything fancy like multiple select.

Thanks!
