> Why the property background-image is not working on a select element? ok, i'll correct my statement that it _does_ work. first i misunderstood your question: i thought of a selected(!) element not _the_ <select> element. nevertheless: on the <option> element, background-image does work (at least in mozilla). but according to the spec, it _should_ work in the <select> anyway, since 'background-image' Applies to: all elements :-) i guess there are those implementational problems again. when brosers use their native widgets to implement form-elements, they're sometimes very limited. opera e.g. does not even apply the background-color for <input> elements and alike. but anyway: that's not a matter of the spec - it does allow this - but bugs in the specific browers. therefore i assume this discussion to be pointless on w3-style. sorry it didn't work out. --Daniel
